Fri, March 20, 2009 I checked our checking account the other day and it looks like the DH household got our tax refund (state AND federal) in already. It amazes me how quickly they were able to process our refund. I wasn't expecting it for another week or so at best.
What did I do with it? The mass majority (about 90%) went directly into our emergency fund. The rest is sitting in our ING checking for now.
Tue, March 10, 2009 The DH Site Of The Day is a personal favorite that I love to browse for hours on end.
This site is all about repurposing relatively inexpensive ikea furniture to serve other purposes and look fantastic while doing it.
One of my favorites is this dog bed that they made out of two ikea desk-ends.
Mon, March 9, 2009 As expected, we're scheduled to get a large (to us) sum of money back for our tax refunds. I had a figure in my head that I was hoping for and thankfully it ended up being about $1100 higher than that figure. This should give us a nice boost in our emergency and savings funds.

Sun, March 8, 2009 Here's the DH net worth update for February 2009:
February was a slow cold month. And some of that rubbed off on my finances. My investments took a VERY big hit, but as I mentioned before, I'm quite alright with that.
You'll also see quite a jump in our vehicle assets. No, we didn't add a widescreen TV to one of our cars. Instead, I went back through Kelley Blue Book to revalue our cars. This is something I typically do once every few months. There tends to be a gap because I take an aggressive depreciation on these assets on a monthly basis.
Here's to hoping for a stronger March!
