My Net Worth Jumps

It’s the middle of the month, so it’s time for me to do my net worth again. I’m not quite ready to do a compete open wallet view, but I am not as opposed to the idea as I used to be.

The big news this month is that my net worth jumped 6.7%. I realized some cash from getting the first check in my new job. However, most of the gains were in my retirement accounts which jumped over to $85K for the first time. In the seven months I’ve been tracking my net worth, this is the first time that it’s jumped more than 1%. It’s a little disappointing that it’s tied to the stock market gains and wasn’t due to anything in particular I did, but I’ll take it.
