Yes, you read that right…October (not November). Life has been amazingly crazy and hectic for me lately, but I was able to jot down the numbers for this update—8 days late, but better late than never. I’ll also be posting November’s update soon to get a little bit caught up.
Emergency Fund: Up $23.19. Just from my daily transfers, nothing more.
Savings: Down $1,027.17. This is a total for the following accounts:
- Health & Dental Fund
- Puppy Expenses
- Car Expenses
- Travel Fund
- Europe Trip
- Christmas 2012
- START account at US Bank
- House Fund
The decrease is from our House Fund, which was completely expected since we were saving money for moving into our first house and things that needed doing and whatnot.
401K: Up $495.56. It’s nice to see such a large increase, especially since we dropped our contributions down to 1% to save a ton of money.
Investments: Up $13.40. We haven’t put any money into these two accounts (Sharebuilder and Betterment) for a long time, so I’m just happy to have it going up.
Roth IRA: Up $72.44. We’re still putting $25.00 in here every paycheck (bi-weekly), so it’s good to see.
Pirates Gold: No change again.
Car: Down $787.00. That’s quite a large drop, I’m glad we’re not trying to sell our car right now.
House: This is the first month putting this in here, so there isn’t any change from the previous month. Since the house was appraised at $171,000, I guess I’ll use that.
*******
Liabilities: (Mortgage). Yeah, it kinda sucks when you start out owing more than your house is worth, but it won’t be like that for long.
So, how did your Net Worth turn out last month?
Have you done it yet???
OMG Jen, I am dying over your Pirate Gold loot, so precious and simply awesome. If you have a giant stash accumulated, have you considered trading some in for silver dollars? It may help your dilemma of not earning any interest on your stack, as your coin’s values will then fluctuate with the spot price of silver.

That would be a wise idea, but I love having my little box of pirate’s gold. It’s more fun this way and it’s only a few hundred dollars. Maybe if I had a good amount more.

A house on your Net Worth! I’m sure it won’t be long until you start attacking that mortgage debt!

LOL I’m not exactly sure what our future plans are just yet. I’d love to move to Europe, but my husband can’t really do anything over there—he’s kinda specialized for the US only. Must earn money, lots of it!

Ouch, the house kills your net worth! Don’t worry – it did for me too for about the first 3 years. Soon you’ll have a positive net worth again and be right on track. You just got to get the contributions back up again!
