Normally I don’t write about news, but I find this very interesting considering Trump is considered a potential candidate for President. With a nation reeling in debt — currently $14.3 trillion, approximately — having a solid understanding of basic financial [...]

I don’t like to share this information because I don’t believe it is relevant to the discussions we have on this blog. At the same time I don’t want anyone to think that I’m hiding anything.

We rebounded from our slight decline in May. Net Worth: 2.76% increase from last month 59.49% increase since we started tracking in December 2007 16.25% increase since beginning of 2009 July should be another great month simply because I get paid weekly [...]

This really confused me specifically because we had a large surplus left over at the end of the month. Our net worth went down 2.3% — not a small sum! I sat and stared at our finances for a while and I think I figured out what happened. [...]

Overall our net worth went up 7.26% — a pretty large amount — but a good chunk of that was just the increase in the value of our retirement savings. I’m fine [...]

Our net worth went up another 5.74% in March. That’s fantastic. In fact that’s the second highest jump in net worth we have had since we started tracking it back in December 2007. Our overall growth since then is 48.5% — another new high. Where did this jump come [...]

I just ran the numbers and since that time we have averaged a net worth growth of [...]

It was also great in terms of net worth growth. In December we took a pretty significant hit to our net worth due to some annual adjustments I made. I updated the current value for our vehicles, home, and things like that. In January we made [...]

We track our net worth. I define net worth in a basic manner: assets minus liabilities. Essentially, if you sold every single last thing you own to pay off every single last debt you have, net worth is what is left. If you have negative net worth that means you wouldn’t [...]

But when you look at it on paper, I’m actually showing a 3.67% drop in net worth. Why? Well, it’s the end of the year and I’ve made my year-end adjustments. Meaning I’ve lowered the value of our house according to what our [...]
