Just a quick note here today for me. The items I add up on my spreadsheet as retirement money (includes retirement funds, pension contributions I can recover, bonds, CDs, and stocks(DRiPs), but not liquid savings and checking) passed $100K today. I know its an arbitrary number, but its nice to see my efforts starting to pay off. Especially after watching my retirement accounts dropping like a rock in 2002-03. And being job-less for a year thereafter.
I actually went out and spent some money today, but never fear, it was with coupons and on many of the items there are rebates. All the stuff had a regular price of about $160, and if they give me rebates like they promise, my cost will end up being $15. Now that I can handle.
Another milestone passed today
