So this morning Morningstar reports that we are up $55,000 from last week at this time. I know, I know - it comes and goes, ebbs and flows, the savvy ones just take a glance every month or so. We record daily, just as we've done with all rental and other Quicken enter-able incomes and expenses.
The funny thing is that we are stewing much more over a new credit card bonus/points plan that could bring in 5% of that amount - at optimal best. Money is fungible; I don't care what pocket it's in (or so I thought), but the stock ups and downs are kinda yawn inducing while working a card bonus scheme engages me. Maybe it's that stock prices rise and fall with no input from me while the card potential earnings are very dependent on what we do.
Anyone else find that money "from different pockets" is of greater or lesser importance?
