Overall it's good though because I was able to put a good chunk of money to work at better prices and higher yields. That's a good combination right there.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-12910387511073898992014-02-15T11:43:33.834-06:002014-02-15T11:43:33.834-06:00Hi PIP,

I view it as a positive development actually, because it means your snowball is taking on a force of it's own.

Oh well. I think showing the savings rate this way is a purer way of showing the actual investment dollars I'm saving and putting to work each month. And that's okay because I'm jealous of your already hefty dividend stream. I've got a lot of work to do to catch up to you there.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-72879639572159774812014-02-14T08:51:30.472-06:002014-02-14T08:51:30.472-06:00Marvin,

So it was definitely a welcomed change from the seemingly non-stop climb during 2013. I'd love to see some more volatility come back into the picture because that gives more opportunities to purchase great companies. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Passive Income Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947101854482544346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587699706949333863.post-79216892428205408972014-02-14T08:50:06.830-06:002014-02-14T08:50:06.830-06:00w2r,

Still a bit surprising to me though since I had saved over $10k during the month.

If the market keeps pulling back, I might have to look into getting back in. I don't think buying stocks is much fun until the yields start approaching 4% or so. Then I'm on high alert.<br /><br />You're still making wonderful progress, regardless.FI Fighterhttp://www.fifighter.comnoreply@blogger.com
