June Net Worth Update
2008-06-03 06:26:00 Here is my monthly Net Worth update.Total Assets: $10,591Total Debts: -$18,892 ---------------------Net Worth: -$8,733Difference from last month: +$432 Percentage Difference: +4.95%NetWorthIQ Click here to see full details.Overall a great month. I was able to pay off a lot of debt and I cleared out a $2,000 Best Buy card debt. Based off my talk with the financial advisor, I should worry about paying off debt first before trying to save. It's not worth it to pay the high interest while only earning 3% on my money market accounts and savings accounts. After my debt is paid off, then I can start to save so it's not counter productive. This past weekend, I did research online to find ways to earn extra income. I've decided to get back into investing, but instead of stocks, I'll be investing in the Forex market. Currency exchange is open 24hours a day for 5 days, not including the weekends. I'm going to learn off a demo account and once I feel comfortable, I will pull...

Net Worth update - 2008 First quarter: Up 1.4%
2008-04-11 04:03:00 Here is our balance sheet for the first quarter of the year: Our Net worth increased by $9288 (or 1.4%) this quarter. The return on our overall portfolio for the quarter was a negative 1.9%, however.I calculated our portfolio return using a neat formula that I first came across in the book The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building a Winning Portfolio by William Bernstein. It goes like this:First find the portfolio value at the start and at the end of the period. Next, calculate the Net inflow for the period which is total amount of money you added to the portfolio during the period minus any money you took out. The Net inflow may be positive or negative. Then,Portfolio return = (Ending value-Net inflow/2)/(Starting value+Net inflow/2) - 1.Related posts:Net Worth update - December 2007: Up 1.3% Net Worth update - September 2007: Up 6.1%Net Worth update - June 2007: Up 7.4% Net Worth update - March 2007: Up 7.7% Our Net Worth over the yearsFinancial goals for retirementAs...

April Net Worth Report...
2008-04-04 22:27:00 It's been awhile since I've posted, so here goes. It's about that time of the month again to compile our net worth, Yaaaay, whoo hoo! You can view a detailed report of our net worth by clicking on the pic on your left. It seems our net worth has increased by almost 20k since our last post in October of 07'. That's approximately a 3k per month advancement, not bad. We're still saving for a house, so our cash accounts are still large and growing. We're in the process of searching for a home now though. Uh, let's see. We moved my wife's 401k account at her old job into a traditional IRA. We got bit for that one, she was fully vested, so they took back the company match, lost a little over 2k. My company retirement plan was closed and that money was put into my 401k. That's going to be a lot better since the retirement plan was a basic savings account, it'll do much better where it is now. I'm keeping the house, car, and personal property assessments the same ...
