Reached November Goal!

I just reached my November goal! My "savings" is scattered between four accounts, but I set aside another $360, so that puts me at $1510, which is $10 more than the goal. It's also about $200 less than I hoped, but what the hell.

I've used my credit cards, but only for designated items. I put my gas on my Discover, and that gets me cash back. I also bought a few items on my Banana Republic card, but I was taking advantage of some deals and I sent the money to the card immediately, so I haven't carried any balance. In fact, I still have a $110 credit on one of my cards. I'm saving that as a reserve for Christmas presents.

I'm looking into purchasing stock. Everything's cheap right now; it seems like one of of those five-to-ten year opportunities to get into the market. I've been reading up on a few companies, and I think I'm going to start purchasing on Monday. I have a feeling lackluster sales on Friday will tank the market again. We'll see.
