Great job! About a year back I had a 5% increase in my net worth one month and I was floored. I see bloggers posting about it every month but to actually see it in your numbers is a completely different story. Keep it up!

Cool! I am glad your home and car have kept their value. You are one of the lucky few on that front… Keep blasting that debt!

Law Girl – thanks for the heads-up. I updated my savings account total to the right.

As for my car, if there was ever a purchase that was an awesome one in our past – it was that car. I check kbb.com every now and then, and the value still hasn’t broken below $5,000. My car has low miles (we don’t have to commute to work) and it is extremely fuel efficient. If gas prices keep rising, I have a feeling the value will stay steady for a while. I really didn’t like that car when we bought it, but it has saved us so much money in terms of fuel and repairs. Our previous vehicle was a gas hog and a money pit.

As for my home, I keep an eye on real estate in the area. It’s a hobby of mine. Comparable homes are going for more than what I have listed in NetWorthIQ. If we sold our home today, I don’t believe it would sell for less than the value I have listed. We’ve also been doing improvements here and there when we can when the budget allows or we find some material. I haven’t added any value for improvements.

So I haven’t adjusted either. If we move soon, though, I guess I’ll find out for sure how much our home is worth

Also, I know you like the monthly boost in the net worth, but aren’t your car and house depreciating? Home prices have plummeted in the last few months.
