First the Swiss_Mouse got creamed in the market in the 4th quarter.  So for January, his net-worth dipped.  Drastically.  First negative January since he started record keeping in 2002.

In February, the Swiss_Mouse started off the month with…a broken fridge.  HOW WILL HE KEEP HIS CHEESE COOL?!?!  Well, Swiss_Mouse actually has a second fridge, but it’s downstairs.  So Consumer Reports was checked, recommendations taken and a ultimately a trip to Home Depot.  A new refrigerator arrives tomorrow.  But how will the Mouse pay?

First he has about 1/3 of the amount in his “house” budget.  Secondly his meager bonus will show soon and that’s it.

NEXT the Swiss_Mouse did get his stock grants from work! YEHAW!  But, taxes took nearly 38%.  OH COME ON!!!!  Yes it is nice to get his small amount.  OH WAIT THE CEO sold $16 million in stock last year.  BOY,  bet he really got hurt with taxes!  BET HE ONLY GOT $8 million out of that!!!!  HAH!

The rest of February is looking bleak.  Taxes must be filed (DEAR GOD IF the Swiss_Mouse has to pay …..) and vacation plans are to be made.   Looks like another down month.

Add in the fact that during a recent storm, a tree fell next to his bedroom nearly making him Flat_Mouse.  OH only what 23 days to the end of the month?
