My plan is to track our progress at the beginning of each month by posting our net worth to celebrate good things and talk through the challenges we had in the prior month. I've been tracking our net worth since February 2013 and this is the first month that we have ever hit six figures which is a big deal.

Unexpected money found in February:
Interest earned on checking/savings accounts: $12.93
Rebate apps: $14.24
Husband's travel stipends: $330
Refund from over-payment on medical bill: $101.66
Kansas Tax Refund: $135
We received the last bill for labor and delivery in February so we paid that in full. Having a baby is so interesting financially because you can bargain shop for just about anything else you're interested in spending your money on but they won't even tell you how much it's going to cost until after. I think I'll save the details on that for another post. (JUST THE MONEY PART. I promise.)
I threw just about everything left at the end of the month at the car to bring it down. Ideally, I'm trying to pay the car off by September 2017 but I'll have a few odd months of income since I have 6 weeks of unpaid maternity leave heading my way. Hopefully we'll be able to scratch that one off a little sooner.
I couldn't help myself and threw two of my husband's travel stipends ($55/each) at the house because I'm trying to end our PMI payment. We have to clear $69,500 to drop the $40/month off our mortgage payment and we're so close that it's nearly unbearable to still see it.
Until next time!
18 Years and 4 + months to go.
