Net Worth Update: November

This post is going to be short and sweet, and late.  Very, very late.  Needless to say I was pretty busy during November.  I was writing finals, taking finals, and planning out my 5th year anniversary trip among a host of many other tasks.

 In October we saw a net worth of... 

 - $111,361.71

 My net worth for November was...

 - $110,622.32

 That is a difference of...

 + $ 739.39

 This is normally the part of the post where we take a look at the amount of money in each account.  I will not be doing that this month due to being so late in the posting that the data I get from Mint would not provide a very accurate picture of where we were in November.  We will take a look at the goals though.

 GOALS:

1. Read ten books by the end of this year: 4/10.  This past month I read a Tom Clancy novel.  I really enjoy Clancy novels and anytime I get my hands on one usually read it within two weeks, no matter how busy I am.

2. Savings: Got the savings up to 8k.  Still got about 7k to go until we are finished with our goal.

3. Retirement: A bit of exciting news here, as my insurance agent called and said that my school is now going to be offering a 403b plan through VANGUARD!!!  whoop whoop.  Not only that, but once I start regularly investing in this plan it will drop my insurance by 6% annually, and the fees with vanguard are WAY lower than what I am currently paying.  The only thing that worries me is the tax implications of rolling my current funds (ie...can I do this without a penalty yada yada yada).  

4. Masters: Finished with three more classes, got all A's!!!  I guess even the professors aren't immune to bribery (lol jkjk).  Now I just have to apply for tuition reimbursement.  I am hoping it isn't too late, because the grades just posted yesterday (December 22nd), so I'm really scrambling to get the paperwork into our district office.

5. Devotions: Well it is official, I am not doing so well in this area of my life.  I have been listening to a bunch of faith based podcasts, but I can't seem to force myself to sit down and crank out a page worth of verses each day.  I really need to make this a top priority in 2015 2016.  

6. Blog Posting:  Made it again just under the wire.  The next post will be coming much sooner.  It has been quite a year so far, and I have to say I am really thankful.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and I really enjoy being able to celebrate it in a country as great as ours.  I truly feel content in my life and I wish that everyone who reads this feels the same way.

Old School's (negative) NET WORTH!!! First Edition

O.k.  So this post is probably long overdue.  After all I do blog a lot on personal finance and I notice most other bloggers throwing their net worth out their so I probably should to.  I guess I just have been a little nervous to do so.  I mean after all, telling a bunch of people who you may or may not know isn't exactly normal in America. Most people in America act like they have money and really don't.  I act like I don't have money and I really don't.  Then their are those who act like they don't have money and they really do.  I want to be the third option. We all have to start somewhere so I guess I will just give you the lowdown on my net worth via Mint.  The only thing I don't really agree with on Mint is that the value of my cars is assessed.  I know I can change this setting but I really don't want to, and I don't factor in the value of my house either.  I figure the house is a liability really until I pay it down, because I can't cash

Net Worth Update: October 2017

DISCLAIMER:  Hello.  This is a monthly net worth report.  I am currently using my banks website to track my net worth, along with personal capital.  I do not include the value of my house but do include the mortgage as a debt.  I do this because it is unlikely we will sell and I prefer liquidity to perceived value.  Sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy comparing yourself to my numbers.  You'll feel better about yourself, I promise:) Hello again faithful readers.  Fall is in the air....at least for the moment.  Round' here the weather changes faster than a kid can barf up his (excessively eaten) candy corn at a football game <---- Yes I did do that once. If that thought doesn't excite you, maybe my numbers will! Net Worth:  - $75,354 Difference from September 2017:  + $7,197 Total Cash Available:  $13,459 Total Investments:  $54,429 Total Debts:  $143,242 Side Note:  I started using round numbers for the main section of this report...looks a bit cleaner
