    Default So proud of myself!

    Yesterday I had a meeting with my financial advisor that went very well. I am 100% on track for meeting my retirement goals and my son's education goals. The only thing that I need to work on, which I've been, is my 3-6 month emergency fund!

    At one point my FA asked "so it must feel good to be where you are"...well being the big mush ball that I've become I actually started crying! OMG!!!

    But looking back a couple of years and to see how far I've come since my divorce, being completely financially independent and being financially sound is such an amazing feeling!

    Its so great to see that all of my wise (and hard) choices and "frugalness" is finally paying off where I can see the numbers adding up.

    So thank you for all of the advice and guidance I've recieved from all of my frugal friends!

    Mush balls rule!
    You should be proud. Working so hard, striving for better in so many ways & coming out healthy, wealthy and wise is awesome!
