Bummer…Our Cell Phone Broke

by

We have a cell phone for emergency use only. It’s a Tracfone (pay as you go phone) and to save a few dollars I buy a yearly plan versus buying minutes every few months to keep the phone active. Wouldn’t you know it…the day after I bought a yearly plan, our phone would not power on. I give that phone some credit. My son has dropped it a few times and I’ve dropped it too. It’s been through a lot, but I guess after a three years it had enough.

We stopped by the store yesterday to buy a new one. Can you believe that a cell phone only costs $15? Sometimes I am amazed by technology. For $15, you can have a piece of equipment that can connect you with the rest of the world from almost anywhere. Amazing.

Anyways, after a call with Tracfone, our new phone was set-up with our number and the minutes will be transferred over shortly and we will be back up and running. I’m anxious to see how this phone works. It’s so small and light. I think about the day that I see an iPhone in action. I would probably faint at what it can do LOL.

Net Worth Update – Up 5.87%

by

I am on the ball this month with a timely update for our net worth. I knew it would be a very nice update with the money we have been able to pay towards our debt lately. I couldn’t wait to plug the numbers into NetWorthIQ so I did it first thing this morning.

As of the end of February, our net worth is now at a -$31,193. We were able to increase it by 5.87%. I am pretty darn happy with this increase. It is the largest monthly increase we have had so far.

As always, you can see how everything is spread out in my NetWorthIQ profile. I stay focused on our credit card debt on here, but we do have some lingering student loans and we have our mortgage.

We’ll see how we do for next month’s update. I’m still in that state of mind 🙂
