I am 46, single, no kids. I am a health care professional. I feel that I'm generally a very good saver and a not so good budgeter - hence the credit card debt payoff I worked through in 2020.The stock market has had some record setting highs this year. More than any other year I believe I read. I'm always happy to see my investments increase.
I'm managing on one job just fine & enjoying all the free time. I've started working out 5 days a week & started back training by jogging. I can't wait to see my progress. One thing about running, you can really see the improvements early on & they keep on coming.
My employer is officially no longer paying on my student loan. I believe the money was misappropriated/lost. I've always made the payments & will continue to do so. This repayment plan was just extra. I'm sorry to no longer have it, but prepared to pay it myself regardless.

The way I ride through the dips is I think about how much more I'm getting for my monthly investments, rather than how small my balance is compared to last month or last year. The market is not a ladder. It's more like a hike up a hill. Sometimes you go up, sometimes you go down, and sometimes you have to change directions, but in the end, you most likely will find yourself somewhere higher than you were when you started.
