February is a funny month because it’s so short. Mr. Boomer said he liked that his hourly wage that month was the highest of year (salaried employee). That’s not what appeals to me. It’s knowing that Spring is just around the corner that I like. Okay, Valentines Day is kind of fun too.
I have a new theme on my blog so it should look different (those that click through to the actual website will see it). Stay tuned as I continue to refine the look this month. You will also noticed that I’ve added a couple of ads. I will do my best to balance monetization efforts with easy access to content.
Spending
My goal of not spending more than $50 on unplanned expenditures was met. The only large purchase to replace the wheel rim bent by the pothole but it met the criteria of existing item that was unrepairable. It did require a little dip into the emergency fund but that’s why we have it.
I also applied $900 to my debt snowball so it’s going down every month (bit by bit).
Blog News
My motivation to keep writing is again renewed with a second month in a row of increased stats. Visits were up 42% and page views increased 3% over January. I’m happy considering it was a short month!
