Every month I post my updated net worth for those that are interested in following my progress. I have been tracking my net worth online since January 2006. I look forward to compiling the numbers each month, and doing so keeps me motivated, focused, and accountable.
Apparently the market only goes up…
I never add my checking in my NW because its so volatile due to daily use.
Anyway, I hear the first million is the hardest. Congrats on the monthly gain.
Thanks! When my net worth was smaller, the checking account could be more volatile, and that volatility had a bigger impact, but these days I am pretty consistently at somewhere around $1,000 at the end of each month, and the checking account is pretty insignificant to the overall net worth. I keep it there, but it wouldn’t make much difference to remove it.
Great update! Congrats on the progress!
