At the end of the first full month of 2018, my net worth went up by 4.91%, to end at $321,989 which is an increase of just over $15,000 from last month! Market gains are the primary contributor to this.

However, as I write this on Feb 5, we are experiencing extreme market volatility – wiping tens of thousands off my net worth.  If the end of the month sees continued depression of the overall market, this could mark the second time in years that I’ve seen a decrease in overall net worth.  This time, it would be primarily because of the market and not a major expense.

At the end of 2017, my net worth went up by 1.5%, to end at $306,921.93 which is an increase of about $4,500 from last month. This year, every month I was net worth positive (with the exception of July, which was mostly due to a large $9,000+ bill for a new roof).  I couldn’t be happier about how the year went financially – gaining over $70,000 in net worth for 2017!

At the end of November, my net worth went up by 2.7%, to end at $303,693.12 which is an increase of just under $8,000 from last month. Market gains and low expenses contributed to the increase in net worth.  This also marks a milestone of net worth crossing the $300,000 amount!
