Im back from Rainfurrest and Im hoping I finally have a stretch of time that I wont be hit up for money. Because of that Im going to launch the second prong of my long term financial recovery plan now my stock portfolio is humming and generating income.. Im now able to afford socking away $100 bi weekly into my savings account. Over the course of a year this will net me $2,600 by next October in savings. Over five years I will have saved a cool $13 Grand.. And if Im somehow able to defy the odds and keep this going for a whole decade and not pull a single penny. I will save: $26,000!
I hope its possible! Financial security is very important to me since I lost almost every penny I had after my mother died last year and came to the brink of Bankuptsy while muddling through Probate.. Not having enough money to put gas in your car or eat much food really puts it in perspective.. Those who watched me go though the hell of losing my mother and the home I grew up in can understand why Im so interested in finance now.. My definition of Success is Financial Security.. Not to be rich, not to have a condo on the beach.. Just to have enough to not worry about the bills... Because what I went though in 2011 was very traumatic for me.. Im actually still making monthly payments to my former lawyers I used for probate court in June 2011. I wont pay them off for another year and a half :/...
