It's 2023! Here's how the year shapes up for me:
-March-
With my annual bonus, I have 4 options.
Option 1 is to replace my air conditioning condensers (I have 2) because freon has been illegal since 2020; I can't get them serviced anymore. They could stop working at any time. I've made it this far though.
Option 2 is to fund my ROTH IRA.
Option 3 is to fund my taxable account.
Option 4 is to keep the funds in savings.
-April-
I get my raise. Hopefully it will be enough to allow me to avoid needing dividends in my budget, or at least reduce the need from say $400 to $100.
-May-
My ex-wife graduates law school and could theoretically start working. Do people hire 47 year old lawyers? We will find out! If and when she does, we can recalibrate child support, and hopefully the $485 I pay per week goes down to something I can more easily manage, like say $300. Then the additional funds, plus my existing dividends, can hopefully allow me to invest $1200+ per month, and we can get this party restarted
