Starting Net Worth: $48,285
February was a fairly easy-going month where we stayed committed to our systematic lifestyle we had begun to build. The one major change was when we liquidated Natasha’s brokerage investment account because we officially decided we were going to do everything we could to buy a house in the next few months. Our apartment lease would be ending in August, and we wanted to make sure we were homeowners before the lease ended. Because this meant we would need to use the brokerage account for a down payment within the next 6 months, we put all of those funds into a money market. This way, we knew the value would not go down unexpectedly while we were placing offers on houses, and at the same time, we could earn decent interest rates through the money market.
