Total Net Worth $102,480

You can see definitions of the above in our first net worth report. You can also see our previous month's reports: October, September, August, and July.

So what happened?

1) I previously posted that I thought net worth would be up about $3,000 or $4,000 this month. Well, on the last day of the month we made a deposit with our wedding photographer of $1,427 which brought us down.

2)I cashed in some of our brokerage account to pay off a 0% credit card loan.

3) The Dodgers refunded my playoff ticket money. This had no net worth effect though as I previously had a receivable due from the Dodgers.

4) Last month we had an increase in the value of our cars of $750, while this month, the value declined by over $1,000.

5) Our 401k's performed really well.

6) We started spending. Christmas is right around the corner and just in general we spend more this time of year.

And that is about it. Since I started posting in July, we have squeaked out net worth gains every month, mostly thanks to a strong stock market. I'm hoping this can continue.

Very nice indeed! Hopefully you'll be able to keep it over 100K through Christmas!

Cool blog. I feel real good about my net worth now (not that you're not doing well). I'm 31, wife is 27 and our net worth is up around $215,000 or so, and we live in podunk little town in Michigan.

Personally, I exclude vehicle from my net worth. Both the supposed value, as well as the loan.
That is unless it's a garage kept classic car that someone would actually pay for, or one where someone would pay more than the loan amount (realistically speaking).
