This was a long week. I had some issues at work that were finally resolved on Friday, but caused a little stress.
My Alexa rating dropped below 1 Million which I am happy about. 200 k here we come!
I began my training for a half marathon last week. I ran 13.5 miles this week, which is about what I
should have run. Every week this number will increase by about 2-3 miles.
My favorite headlines from the week
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Apples worth of $500 billion tops Poland
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Dow still can’t penetrate 13k
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bear gives birth to triplets
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Worker nails hand to roof

Savings Update
I have recently paid off my car and refinanced my mortgage, WOOHOO. But now I have to put that money away. I figure the best way to commit is by posting a monthly update of my savings balance. That way all of you can dig in if the balance isn’t growing as expected. Thanks in advance for the support! I accept all types of encouragement ranging from insults, bullying, and digs in order to meet my savings goal.
Starting Balance: $6541
Monthly Contribution Goal: $500
Actual Contribution: $1000
Ending Balance: $7541
