That shows discipline. Don’t get discouraged. I know you’ll be on track soon.

My besy wishes.

2) I just log into my accounts and grab the number that’s currently in there. I don’t account for fees/etc, especially since I’m not going to touch it until there ARE NO FEES.

3) Awesome, glad you found a way that works :) I just xfer the same amount every month into a “tax fund” (really just a separate savings account) and then use that to pay the quarterlies… your route is DEF more accurate though, haha… I’m gonna have to adjust it more for sure.
@Andrew – Hey, thanks for saying hi now! Glad you’re enjoying the site – I love hearing from my readers more than anything! :) And to answer your question, no. We do not pay any PMI. But you’re right, that WOULD be another great reason to keep knocking it down!
@Jen @ Master the Art of Saving – That’s right! All a part of the game, right?
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – I’ll have plenty to give out when the time comes! I’ll even bring some good craft beer especially for you ;)
@DC – Oh, cool! She actually doesn’t want me mentioning it here on the blog (privacy reasons), but if you want to email me I can tell ya :)
@Michelle – I’m extremely jealous of others’ net worths ;) We’re all somewhere on the chain, eh? The awesome part is that we can all keep climbing too!
@retirebyforty – Nah, doesn’t really hurt much cuz I expect it to go up and down all the time – especially in this market. It’s actualy kinda weird to be honest with you. The old me would have been FREAKING the F out right now – or any of the times it’s dipped this year – but I think I’m so used to it all now that it’s just an afterthought :) On the other hand, when it goes UP so much I also don’t get as excited as much, haha… I can’t tell if that’s good or bad all the way?
@Evan H. – Haha, yeah!! And I did mine the day before so I missed it in the calculations! D’oh.
@Courtney – Print it out baby and stamp it up and everything! Just a matter of time! (Though, you’ll probably need to put like 10 more stamps on it by then ;))
@YFS – Work it yo! That’s the sexiest way to go right there — live off one and play/invest/pay debt off with the other! I love it!
@Jennifer Lissette – GREAT!!! I love hearing that :) 2012 is gonna be a KILLER year for sure, I’ve got nothing but good good feelings about it. Less than a month away!
