how it stands this fall

October 1, 2008

Well, here’s a link to last month’s net worth:

For the first time, my Retirement savings declined due to market turmoil.  I’ll live.  My stocks only went up a few dollars because I bought stock the day after the market went down over 700 points.  My debt fell nicely this month, but because I don’t want to pay my credit card balances before they are billed, I am still carrying credit card balances - luckily for me, I am also carrying that amount of money in my checking account, just waiting for them to bill me.  I am still saving in my Emergency Fund Account, and my My Own Home fund is pretty much getting interest only as I beef up the Emergency Fund.

One more thing: two years of hard work since October 2006 and I have cut down half of my net worth deficit!  Hooray for me!!!
