February 2007 Net Worth Snapshot

I worked too hard in February to move backwards, but that’s exactly what happened. It was a pretty brutal month for us. There were tons of irregular expenses like the flat tire that couldn’t be fixed and had to be replaced, the 6 month car insurance payment, and my wife going get new contacts only to find that although she had been added to all my other insurance plans, she somehow got missed on the vision insurance and wasn’t covered.
Then, of course, the thing that really hurt was the big drop in the stock market right at the end of the month. Personally, I wasn’t bothered by the drop, and I actually see it as a chance to buy more stock at a cheaper price, but it doesn’t have a positive affect on our current net worth.
January wasn’t the sign of good things to come that I had hoped it was, but I do think that we’ll get back on track in March.
