Fiscal Update – Nov 2011

That 4% global stock rally a couple days ago was insane. First time I’ve ever seen something like that. I basically became $3,500 richer within the first opening hour! At least on paper anyway. That’s comparable to a CEO’s wage.

     Got an extra payment from my part-time job because of how their accounting works. Paid down some debt. Spent a lot on books and games. Bought a personal finance title called Millionaire Teacher, by Andrew Hallam. Also purchased the new Super Mario game and Uncharted 3, Collector’s Edition. Amazon made a killing from my wallet in November. Spent a little less than usual on groceries though. Didn’t go too much over budget overall.

Hey Nice to see that someone else is also striving for financial independence at a young age. While I'm a bit older than you are (30) I am also striving for financial independence. I'm aiming for about 40. Like you i'm trying to increase my dividend income.

Keep up the good work.
