@StackingCash – Oh yeah, don’t be fooled – I get hit! It’s just some months I put in MORE than the loss so it looks positive ;) if you go through some of my old net worths, you’ll def. see drops of $5 and $10k some months….there’s never a secret!

@Michelle – Hey, ask away anytime. You know I love talking about this stuff :) To answer your question, no. No chance of us refi’ing because we’re too underwater and we’re not willing to dump all our cash into it to make it refi’able. If we knew we’d be there for 5 years straight (or however long it would take to recoup the refi costs at least) it woudld be another story, but as it stands I just want to leave whenever feasible ;) And hopefully our neighbor selling will increase those chances for us!

Any chance you’ll get to refi before the rates go back up? fingers crossed that the similar property sells quickly & for good $$!

My net worth is no where near that. I have a long way to go. :)

I was up this month too! Yay for going up! I only started tracking my net worth in December, but it has become second nature to me and I actually look forward to doing it. Next step is to start automating my savings so I can start posting up some big numbers!

YES! If you don’t know where you stand financially, you can’t figure out where the hell you’re actually going :) Now you have a determined starting line, and can work toward that awesome finish line of yours!

Just posted my very first NW Statement. Unfortunately, I’m in the red, but at least I know where I am so that I can measure where I am going.

Congrats on a great month!

Congrats on a great month! Last month was great for us as well. My son made a $1000 in gift money from his baptism which went straight into his college fund. Plus, we came out $200 under budget for the month. We’re going to invest the surplus in some home improvements that should improve our energy efficiency and [hopefully] lower our utility bills.

Dude you and Mrs. eliteedgemoney are KICKING ASS in the Net Worth dept!! It’s awesome to watch your numbers go up and up and up.

Someday I hope I can post a number like that.

As it is I’m still just getting happy when the numbers I owe Salle go DOWN every month :)

Alright J – you’ve been crushing it since Feb! I like the steady incline, and given that trajectory you should pass $200k in another 3 months.
