The S&P 500 returned 6.6% for the month of December. The US economy continues to show signs of slow growth.

We are still debt free since we paid off our credit card debt. We will continue to use our credit cards for rewards but payoff the balances each month. I received around $100 in dividends for the month and have used the cash from these dividends and $200 to make additional stock purchases.

We will be building up our cash over the next few months to increase our cash reserves. You can click on my Net Worth graph on the right to see the changes in each category from the previous month. We continue to fund our Roth IRA's each month.

I will post my Dividend Income Update on Wednesday.
