December 2008 Net Worth – $80,462.58

While 2008 was not the best year for our net worth, December, surprisingly, turned out to be the best month we have ever had. When the stock market stops working against us, we’ll be hoping to have months like this more often.

The fact that we had such a good month is particularly nice considering the extra expenses we had this month. Not only did we have the usual extra holiday expenses, but my wife managed to bang her car up. I wont embarrass her by going into details (not that she reads this), but suffice it to say we had to replace her front fender and both of her right side doors and the tie rod. She was perfectly fine, and in fact, when she called me to tell me what happened, she thought she had just knocked her side mirror off (for the 4th time).

Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays as much as we did. Stay tuned for my year end review.
