Certain things I have no control over like car repairs which has been a big expense for me in March. I wish I didn't need a car but unfortunately work is 45 minutes away from me.

I still have a long way to go, but It's 2.73% more than my position last year. I can't wait to see that blue bar finally reach that first line. Its was struggling a little bit this month but at least my net worth grew a little.

I am grateful for that progress, but it has come with some minor sacrifices as well. Working two jobs last year was brutal on me but that sped up the amount of money I was able to save. This year I am working one job but making the same amount.

In addition to decreasing expenses I am trying to figure out ways to also increase my monthly income. I may have to increase my selling on Ebay as well. This will allow to increase my savings rate. Hopefully I will get a raise at work in less than a year, but I just started so I can't ask at this point.
