[this is a ymoyl update.]

since i stopped investing and diverted my extra income to paying off the mortgage, the investment income line no longer moves and is not as gratifying as before. to give myself something encouraging to watch, i’ve started two mortgage-related graphs at the bottom of the graphs page. the first shows how much i still owe, and is taking a beautiful nosedive. the second shows how much i pay each month in interest on the loan. it’s also going steadily downward, though the recent decreases can’t compete with the huge dive it took after i refinanced to a lower rate.
