Talk about a beating in the net worth arena. My net worth tanked from a record high last month, losing over $3,000 in a single month. Ouch, to say the very least! What in the world went wrong? Two things mainly. I chose to make two very large purchases in a single month – not [...]
I’ve started compiling my net worth report early this month,for a change. Quite frankly, I’m disappointed in myself for making several large purchases in the same month. Normally I’m pretty good at spreading large purchases out over time, so they don’t hit quite as hard. Not this time around. I made two major purchases in [...]
Looking at my picture here ( click for a full-size view ), I’m bad at Paint.net. But we’ll ignore my artistic inability to focus on the fact that my net worth is the highest that it’s ever been. That’s right, EVER. With an increase of $2829, or 6% over last month, my net worth stands [...]
Much earlier than last month, this is April’s installment of my monthly net worth report. Great news this time, unlike last month. My net worth grew by a solid 4%, or $1655. So, what went right, and what went wrong? Let’s dig in. Liquid Assets A drop here for the second month in a row [...]
Well, I’m about 15 days late with March’s Net Worth Report. Surely I could come up with a hundred excuses about how busy I was, and how much I had going on. But you wouldn’t really care about that now would you? March was a good month in some regards, but I ended up with [...]
The last few months have felt like a roller coaster in the financial sense – up one month, down the next. And since January ended on a rough note, February ( fortunately ) ended on a solid one financially. My net worth increase to $47627, a 9% jump from January. However, I’m disappointed. Remember, my [...]
What a way to start off the year, right? My net worth dropped by 6%, or $2756 in January. The entire reason for the drop is a $3300 legal fee (which I won’t go into detail about, except to say I’m glad that it’s taken care of, and it’s worth every penny). This fee aside, [...]
Now that’s more like it. December turned out well, so I wanted to go ahead and put together my net worth report early. The final numbers are in, and they’re pretty solid. I finished up the month ( and the year ) with a total of $46,600 in net worth. That’s up 18% from last [...]
Terrible, terrible, terrible. November of 2008 was not a good month, at least on paper. My total net worth tanked by a cool 13% for the month – back to levels not seen since May of 2008. I will place a caveat here though – my business assets / liabilities are estimated, rather than definitive. [...]
After a tough September, a strong October is a welcome sight. Don’t get me wrong – there were some extremely tough financial areas in October, that I’ll get to shortly. But my wife and I stepped up work on our side business and had a record month there, which more than offset the negatives. [...]
