Another week has come and gone. A week with another impressive drop in stock prices. And here I am, unable to put more money into the market. One of my biggest regrets about being unemployed currently is not being able to put more money into my investments. If that’s not a sign of high risk tolerance (or at least, the understanding that I have four decades or so before retiring), I don’t know what is. And to the financial statements we go:

After a Valentine’s weekend spent with my girlfriend and a lackluster week for investors, my finances have taken a bit of a hit. Nothing too huge, but still a decline. Luckily, with my paycheck and unemployment arriving this week, I do have money on hand. Plus, I’m feeling good about my job prospects. so hopefully I’ll soon have good news on that front *crosses fingers*
