Net Worth Update~ April 2012

 april 2012 net worth update

Not too shabby. Every month our net worth increases is a good month in my eyes. It’s amazing how far we’ve come financially, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for our finances.

Emergency Fund: Up $35.34. Not too much happening with the emergency fund this last month. I only transferred a little bit of left-overs, but of course those daily transfers add up. I’m almost positive that we’ll get this up to $2,000 by the end of the year, but I’d like to get it there in the next couple of months if I can.

Savings: Up $3.48. I don’t know what happened here. I had $15.00 via daily transfers to our Christmas account, so I must have screwed up tracking something, somewhere. I’m just not sure, but it’s not a big deal.

401K: Up $618.03. I love it when this goes up, especially since we’re contributing 8% to it now. :-) Gotta appreciate the good times.

Betterment: Up $7.20. I expected it to go up a little more than this, but it’s still going up, so I shouldn’t be complaining. I love Betterment, it’s so easy to let somebody else do all the work.

Roth IRA: Up $50.00. Same old, same old. Just my monthly contribution of 50 bucks again. At least I’m in the habit now. I’d like to increase this but I got some work to do on our spending before I can even consider it.

Pirates Gold: No change. :-( I’m not looking like a very good pirate lately.

Car: Down $3.00. Oh well, not like we’re going to be selling it anyways.

Evil Credit Card: Down $18.00. I currently have a 29 cent credit on the account, the bill was all weird, so I paid a bit more in case they continued being evil. Just waiting for the statement to make sure everything is good.

 

 

So, how did your Net Worth turn out this month? Have you done it yet???

Net Worth Update~ April 2012 — 16 Comments

  1. That’s great that you saw an increase! Mine, unfortunately, got even worse over the last quarter. I need to improve it.

  2. Great job on the increase! It’s so important to take a step forward every month (regardless of the amount)!

    We had a bad spending month but we also had a windfall of additional income. Overall our net worth will change more this month than it has in the past year. :) Kind of exciting.

    • That is pretty exciting. :-) Yeah, moving forward (even if it’s just a little) is still an improvement.

  3. Great month Jen! Good to see that you’re making progress on everything. Keep up the discipline and keep up with all those regular contributions. You’ll reach your goals in no time.

    • Thanks Aggie. :-) A slowly increasing net worth is far better than decreasing or not moving at all net worth.

  4. Super to have an increase in net worth!!!

    Sorry I’ve been MIA on commenting lately – I lost internet connectivity for a couple of weeks and have had some other issues. Hopefully I’m back now though.

    • :-) I couldn’t imagine going without the internet for a couple of weeks, I’d go crazy. I hope your internet and other issues get resolved.
