May & June Check In + Surgery Update

July 2nd, 2024 at 07:39 pm

Debts

Mortgage -$111,473.31 (-$488.08)
Land Loan -$7,800.92 (-$394.04)
Hospital Bill -$0 (-$141.41)

Savings

Roth IRAs +$35,067 (+$1,603)
401K +$69,529 (+$4,184)
Emergency Fund +$10,295 (+$5,221)
Animal Fund +$1,307 (+$257)
Car Fund +$0 (-$260)
HSA +$1,229 (+$674)

Overall: +$12,702.53

This is two months worth of changes. We are finally caught up and actually able to save again.

This does not include about $25k that is in a savings account for my medical bills/time off work.

I got the news, I am supposed to have my first surgery across the country next week. Very short notice so we are scrambling to get things together. Still waiting on insurance. Hoping it doesn't get rescheduled and that it is successful and healing goes okay.

You wrote this a couple of weeks ago. I am hoping that things came together and that you were able to have the surgery and are recovering from it now.
