How's Your Net Worth Been Doing?

[dionx]

On Friday, I had a big jump from around $88k to $99k because of 12% jump in my company ESPP and stock options. I almost broke the $100k mark in December, but because of the market, took a dive to high $70k, and am now just recovering.

 

[lyssword]

I have a net worth of $2000

7 figures; no brag-I'm old...

any thread regarding money or possessions on this forum is a brag thread. it should be a law, like oldsmoboat's law.

I don't know the value of my assets, but debt vs cash/investments, my net worth is roughly -60k. Thanks, student loans!

networth has dipped slightly. despite losses in retirement funds and home value, we've increased our monthly contribtuions and taxable savings. add it all up and we're still slightly down for the year. we're in prime accumulation stage thought (DINK) so these down years are going to pay off later.

roughly even. The only loans I have currently are student loans, and my new and budding 401k balances that out.

However, I'm hoping that towards the end of the year/spring next year to buy a house.


I managed to cut my monthly expenditures in half back in Feb/Mar and with the cost of everything going up I've made no real progress in terms of lumping away large sums of money.

net worth?

hah...within the last 12 months, I've gotten engaged, bought an engagement ring, bought a new car, and bought a house. I'm also paying for the rehearsal dinner in October the night before the wedding. And Im in grad school....

it's a difficult time in my life to be thinking about net worth

I would say strong to quite strong.

 

[TallBill]

My total worth is in the black and debts are disappearing fast.

 

[zoiks]

-3k since I owe that on the car. I could pay it off but I'm not paying much on interest.

Ever since I started paying attention to it about 8 years ago better and much better year after year.

What really woke me up was buying a home and realizing my actual net worth was barely positive. Ever since then every financial decision came down to one of "will this increase my net worth, if so do it, if not then don't."

So that Cuisinart you got, what, last week..

My NW is definitely in the red. Just bought a house, which would put me a bit in the black, and my car no longer depreciates much ($3k, yeah!), but I have my law school debt to repay starting next year.

I guess if you count retirement accounts, I might be a net wash, but I seriously prefer to ignore those.
