Well another all-time high by a long shot this month. My nestegg increased by almost $39k this month! This was in part by crazy strong returns for the stock market and the fact that I also contributed $14k to my accounts this month.

The big contributions were due to two reasons. First I received a very large federal tax refund which I decided to invest entirely in Tesla Motors stock in my taxable account. I know I need to adjust my allowances – I filled out my W-4 nearly 9 years ago when I started my job and I’ve had a handful of kids since then.

I also received a portion of my 401k matching 5.5% that my company contributes once a year into my 401k (on top of the 4% they put in with each paycheck).

I am getting with in striking distance of the half a million dollar milestone and I expect that I could eclipse this figure next month due to the fact that there is a chance I would get a bonus payout from work next month.

It was also nice to see my potential retirement income jump by about $1500 a year in just one month!
