Net Worth June: $214,025.67 – Down $5k but Hangin’ In

July 6, 2011

Yup – another month down  a bit. It’s never fun, but at least it helps me appreciate the UPs :)  I kinda miss the days of $10k-$15k increases! But we’re entering the months of limited income now that the Summer’s here, so I’m afraid they won’t be back for a while now. The wifey doesn’t [...]

Yeeeeeeeessss! You can’t see me, but I’m doing the biggest nerdiest white boy dance right now on top of my desk chair.  Jersey Shore style, baby ;) All because I apparently can’t do math properly in my head.

Don’t want anyone getting in trouble here! :) Was having a chat with a friend yesterday, and he mentioned that he’s making some decent money on the side doing a little graphic design.  “On the side” meaning both a side hustle like those in our series here, but also meaning “without [...]
