I’m surprised at the results too. It will be interesting to watch over time.

@20’s Finances – Thanks man, I don’t think it could realy go TOO wrong here since each option is a viable one really, at least in my books.
@Beth – Haha, sure thing. We all start out somewhere, my friend! I remember when I had a Net Worth of like $500 :) Though back then I never even tracked it, so I could have been way off in my head, haha… (actually, that was one of the reasons I DID start tracking it – so I *knew* 100% what my deal was. no more guessing!)
@Financial Success For Young Adults – Oh yeah, either of these accounts could easily take over at any time, I have no idea what to expect except for best guesses. I def. miss my 401k plan w/ all that free matching (!!!), but these will have to do for now. DEF get on it and at least put in what your company is giving you for free! :)
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – They’re actually not doing well, but it’s all good ;)
@Jen @ Master the Art of Saving – Haha, I know. It keeps me entertained and somewhat happy either way ;) I know it’ll go back up in the future, just a matter of time, baby.
@Brian – WOWWWWW, that is crazy! $60k net worth! I remember that time so vividly too – esp those blog posts that are at the top of the site :) Seems like forever ago, and yesterday, at the same time. And oddly I feel just as secure w/ money back then as I do now? Weird, huh?

Everything is still in your archives but looking up a date and seeing what you posted, and that your net worth was still in the 60K range. It’s crazy how things change in a few short years.

Those are all unrealized losses I’m assuming so you could potentially see 1 and 2 come back. I’m still only invested in a Roth IRA and a few personal stock accounts. I’ve gotta get my 401k going assp.

I am busting my hump to get to the point where I can start and contribute to my own personal retirement, and there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many options for my brain to keep it all straight. That, and I have absolutely no trust for any financial “products” until I have concluded my own research to my own satisfaction. Money: I don’t have too much right now (working to improve that slowly but surely), so I really don’t enjoy the idea of wasting any.
Thanks for putting yours on the line and letting us know the results!

I am just reading about this IRA test for the first time. I am very interested to see how it ends up since I will be opening up another IRA in the next year.
