Greetings from rainy, foggy, cold, plowing hail from the streets Sacramento!

So yesterday I met with the finance guy who helps manage my IRA from rollovers of different 401k programs. I had great returns this year averaging 21% so if I can keep that ball going for the next 30 years it would be good! I just wish there was more money in those accounts to have made even more. It was nice to plan what to do with the small roll over from my part time job I had for the past year and a half. Going with an aggressive international fund for the next year or two as we both think that will be the place to invest seeing what has happened in the past several years.

Had French class last night I love that class! I also took 150 from my savings account at another bank to assist in the move stuff and it looks like I can return it untouched since tomorrow is pay day. Yippee! I love that!

I also have money left this month in the parking/gas fund of cash. Being sick for 2 weeks and not having parking during 6 days really helped me save 50 dollars. It would have been more but I spent a good deal of it dining when I was not feeling like cooking. 5 here and 5 there really added up. I would have saved easily another 50 if I had not done that and eaten what I had at home. I will fill my tank today after work to start March with a full tank and not have to make that the first expense of the month. I want to see if I can make it two weeks with out having to get gas if I begin to carpool with a friend to work. Only 6 miles but let’s see what the saving in parking and gas are after a month. I will also take what ever is left of that account from February's money and put it with my home emergency fund. I am keeping a small amount of cash at home with my change to cover any unexpected small expenses that might happen. Adding this to it will be nice and when it gets to be too much then I deposit it into my long term savings for emergencies account or dropping it immediately against a cc bill.

I have not spent any money today but I am going to see a movie tonight with a friend and we have already agreed not to have dinner out (saving money) but we will buy popcorn at the movie. I never go to the movies at night always preferring to hit the early show on the weekends or go by myself after work during the week as the prices are cheap until 5 or 6 during the week. I just plan to go to the latest one possible.

Does anyone else notice that there are some blogs you ready every day if you have limited time? I realized there are several I look for each day and when they are not there I begin to worry a bit wondering if they are ok. Reading these entries really helps keep me focused and I thank each of you that participate!
