Hey!

I have been reading many of your posts the last couple of months but I never comment because I am just lazy unfortunately haha.

This post hit home. I have been doing the net worth calculation for my own self the last 5 years and I am very happy with the results.

I started my first business in 2009 and through a stroke of luck, made it big (for my age atleast).

However, I used to squander money uselessly and in 2012 I realized that although I was earning enough, my net worth wasn’t really increasing.

I have changed all of that now. I bought a couple of houses, put them on rent and have been very careful with my money.

I have even started a personal finance blog so I can give other people tips about this.

Thanks for bringing things into perspective :)

October was so volatile for my portfolio. It’s been quite a ride this year. Hopefully I’ve paid the last of my big (thankfully not major) medical bills and can return to filling up my IRA.

Some days your the hydrant and other days your the dog. Life is not about perfection but constant improvement and hard work. This is especially true with our finances.

YESSSS!!! Great addition!!

And very similar to *blogging* too. So fun to go back over the years and be reminded of how everything was, and (hopefully) how far you’ve since come :)

Thanks for chiming in!
