Net Worth Updates

Every month I post up our latest net worth :) We’ve been doing it for over 4 years so far, and it’s REALLY helped us to keep on track and manage our money better. We started at $58,769!

What up, what up! Onto net worth update #62! How crazy is that?? One day you’re shooting for $100,000, and the next – 5 years later – $400,000. At least it’s all trending UP!

A good good month! And tons of money transfering around too. If you recall from earlier in the month, we finally filed our taxes and deposited a huge chunk into our SEP IRA so that we can avoid paying the gov’t a cool $9,000 ;) Which explains that ginormous hit on our cash reserves as you can see there (as well as our giant increase . . .

Time to get naked with our money again! :) I swear these months just fly by… A good reminder to put those game plans into action so you can use the power of time to build your net worth for you! That’s a key ingredient right there, I’ll tell you what. And better while you’re young and nubile too so you don’t have to work . . .

A nice change from last month’s $3k decrease :) And almost all the increases come strictly from the stock market going up up up… But always better than down down down!

Net Worth Update: $332,608.93 (Down $3Gs…)

January 2, 2013

They can’t always go up :) And while there is a lot of red in most the categories this month, the biggest loss (in “monster cash”) is more of an accounting adjustment on my end than anything crazy going on. Though it’s still money we can’t count on in the future… Over the years I’ve been counting all money that’s in my accounts on the . . .

What up, what up! Another month locked up as we continue on tracking our money :) I swear it feels like we do this every week? Lots of good stuff going on around here though, particularly with these two things: 1) The wife’s supplemental income @ $1,500 a mo. 2) Our major mortgage payoff of over $3,000 this month! More on that in the details below, . . .

Down a little this month, but lots of exciting stuff going on! If you scroll down to the bottom you’ll see why ;) BABY J$ now has his own net worth – woohoo!
