Net Worth Update: $298,449.90 (Up $13k!)

February 7, 2012

Getting soooooooo close to $300k, I can taste it! Just a little way to go and we’ll hit it in no time – I’m pretty psyched. You multiply that by 3 and we’ve hit $1 Million dollars son! :) Something I never would have guessed was possible 4-5 years ago when we were pretty much [...]

Net Worth Update: $285,368.44 (UP $32,000!)

January 5, 2012

Wha wha wooey! Attack of the cash! :)  And it was least expected too, as usually things die down in December while everyone’s getting ready for the holidays. But as luck (or hard work?) would have it, I got a few extra projects thrown my way which REALLY brought in the big bucks.  Even though [...]

Net Worth Update: $253,545.67 (DOWN $9,000)

December 1, 2011

Well, that’s a far cry from last month’s $60,000 gain! Haha… But not like you can sustain something like that forever ;) (Or you get inheritances every month for that matter – thank goodness!) But despite how awful the numbers this month are lookin’, we’re actually doing quite the opposite.  If you recall earlier this [...]

November 2, 2011

Holy $hit. Now THAT is a net worth update!  Haha… WOW.  I honestly didn’t see that one coming. Then again, it’s been such a whirlwind this month that it’s been hard to stop and really let everything soak in. Between my grandmother sending me $20k from the Heavens above, some of my online projects making [...]

Net Worth Update: $204,762.73 (Down $15Gs… *vomit*)

October 6, 2011

Wow.  That’s a lot of red!  And a lot of stuff out of my control too – at least that’s somewhat comforting ;) Can’t do much about the craziness of the market, can we?  Just gotta keep pushing through w/ the plan, and doing our best to keep our heads up and workin’ toward that [...]

September 7, 2011

Uh-Ohs.  The markets are a crashin’!  But not like it’s that much of a surprise, eh?  When you play the game, you gotta be ready for the ups and the downs! (If only the downs could have happened BEFORE I got my huge influx of 401(k) though, haha…) But yeah – not a pretty site [...]

Now we’re talkin’! It’s been a while since we’ve seen a nice bump in stats here, and I’m soaking it in while I can ;) It’s not every day you get your long lost $17,000 back! Haha… Though I might add we did pretty good in the other departments too – namely our cash savings [...]

Net Worth June: $214,025.67 – Down $5k but Hangin’ In

July 6, 2011

Yup – another month down  a bit. It’s never fun, but at least it helps me appreciate the UPs :)  I kinda miss the days of $10k-$15k increases! But we’re entering the months of limited income now that the Summer’s here, so I’m afraid they won’t be back for a while now. The wifey doesn’t [...]

June 1, 2011

Yes, we lost $5k this month but we can’t help but smile! We freakin’ refinanced, baby!!! Two years of trying and it finally came true. So we’re all still in celebration mode over here… as you can tell from all the recent mentions of it ;) But that’s how powerful it was – we don’t [...]
