We lost about $24K of retirement savings, or about 2.5% of the total value of those funds. Offset by a small contribution to NT's 401k and our regular mortgage payments, our net worth decreased by $22K.

I turned 51 this month, so our CoastFIRE number increased $35K. We are still at CoastFIRE with a $22,500 surplus of where we need to be at. A far cry from the $86K surplus I had in January, but what can you do? It's all worth it to have hundreds of thousands of government employees laid off, international students snatched off our local campuses by ICE, measles spreading like wildfire, our local foodbank losing 15% of its funding, planes falling out of the sky, Palestine and Ukraine being destroyed faster than ever, state supreme court races being bought by a billionaire, and the two-term limit about to be ignored. I mean there are too many blessings to list all in one place. Oh and a tech-bro kid named Big Balls has my social security number, yay!

Well, despite Musk and Trump's best efforts to capsize the economy, we only lost $2700 of net worth. It would've been closer to $4K but our regular mortage principal payments and NT's small contribution to his 401(k) offset it a bit.

Tomorrow I turn 51, so my next CoastFIRE calculation will be at that age, but for now, we're on track with Coasting with an $82K surplus of where we need to be.

No other financial news, really. NT still waiting to see if his high-paying dream job comes to fruition, but it hasn't been ruled out, just supposedly taking longer to get things in place than expected. So he's very optimistic and I'm still cautiously willing to entertain the scenario but not counting on anything.
