Progress to Financial Independence- March 2017
March was the most lucrative month that I've had financially to this point. A combination of five paychecks this month and receiving my tax refund, equal to an additional paycheck, resulted in a significant improvement in my net worth.

Progress to Financial Independence- October 2016
Although October has 31 days, it really flew by this year.
