Net Worth Going in the Wrong Direction

Comment First

For the third straight month since I’ve started really keeping track of my net worth, it’s gone down. While that is scary, a closer examination shows that I’m losing money in my retirement accounts due to a weak stock market. Considering that I don’t plan to access this money for 35 years, I’m not going to worry too much.

Most of my net worth is in three areas.

  • My Home - Equity there is about 40% of my net worth.
  • Retirement accounts - They are about 45% of my net worth.
  • Cash and equivalents - (ING, Prosper, even my mutual fund is in here) accounts for the rest.

That last third portion isn’t really doing a whole lot as it’s not invested in large growth areas. I really need to start focusing on just saving more money.
