Youch.  I used a chunk of my Education fund to pay for enrollment in a new, rather expensive course.  I've also done some online shopping in an effort to look more... current?  Less mid-lifey?  My 5-years-younger friends at work said I could "literally be on What Not to Wear."  That clearly hit me right in the feels.

Another hard month.  More dental work, and it's far from over.  My credit card bills have been high, mostly from said dental work, but I still have to cut down on the day-to-day junk.

Between dental work and a haircut this past month, I'm down about $700.  I don't think we've seen the last of the dentist either.  Can't deal.

We got our tax refund back and applied $3,000 of it to my Education fund.  We set some aside for the future, and some for vacation, too.  Yes, it was another big refund (though not as big as last year).

Welp, I didn't quite make my goal of a $30k net worth by February, but I got pretty close, mostly by interest and accident.  I clearly lost focus in the spending department.  It didn't even go crazy with the shopping, so I'm not really sure what that number is made up of.  I guess it's time to whip out the old spreadsheet.  I know I say that every time I update, but now that I have an iPhone, I don't really have an excuse.  I need to take advantage of the plethora of apps out there and just update it on the reg, and in real-time.
