Reviewing My Net Worth
It’s been a long time since I calculated my net worth – July 2008 to be specific. Why did I stop calculating it then? There were two main reasons: The big stock market drop – Things had dropped so much that it was depressing. The fall of housing prices also played heavily into it as [...]

A Brief Net Worth Update
Last month, I decided there probably isn’t a whole lot of value in sharing my net worth ups and downs with you. If you want to put yourself in my shoes, here’s a basic synopsis of my account holdings. I have a little over $200,000 in net worth. About half of that is in retirement [...]

A Brief Net Worth Update
For the past couple of years, I’ve been keeping track of my net worth and posting about gains and losses. I’ve started to realize that it’s typically a very boring post. I don’t know if readers really get too much value in reading that I’ve lost $800 due to stock market fluctuations. As such, I [...]

Net Worth Update – June 2008
It’s the middle of the month, so it’s a time to take a look at my net worth. Due to the stock market slump it slumped a little bit. It’s specifically down about $3,000 from around $220,500 to $217,380. The first half this year has been disappointing to me, because I really thought I’d be [...]

Net Worth Update – May 2008
It’s the middle of the month, so it’s a time to calculate my net worth. For the last 5 months or so, I’ve been pretty much break even – spending almost exactly what I’ve earned. This is not a long-term recipe for success, but it’s a lot better than many people do when starting a [...]

It’s the middle of the month, so it’s a time to reflect on my net worth. I’ve been very happy to break even lately as I focus on making my businesses grow – while trying to slow down from the rat race. April came as a very pleasant surprise – the stock market rebound had [...]

Net Worth Update – March 2008
With the middle of the month comes the update to my net worth. Last month, I was very happy to break even. This month that would have been a pipe dream. With the stock market dropping, my retirement accounts nearly dropped to less than $100,000 in value. In total, my net worth dropped roughly $4,500 [...]

Net Worth Update – February 2008
It’s the middle of the month, so I’m doing my usual look at my finances. Just a few minutes ago I logged into my 20+ financial accounts and update my Excel spreadsheet. It’s a lot of work to have 20+ financial accounts, but each of them serve a purpose. Overall, I ended up losing $300 [...]

Net Worth Update – January 2008
I missed posting this in the middle of the month; I wanted to get some articles posted last week that I felt were more interesting. I did manage to grab a snap shot of my accounts from the 15th. With the stock market dropping like a ball on New Year’s Eve, I knew it wasn’t [...]

Net Worth Update – December 2007
It’s the middle of the month, so it’s time to review my net worth – or lack there of. Fortunately, despite not having a day job anymore, I was very pleased to see some gains in the bottom line. Last month I finished with $214K. This month, my net worth is $219K. Here is a [...]
