Blogging Away Debt

I am on the ball this month with a timely update for our net worth. I knew it would be a very nice update with the money we have been able to pay towards our debt lately. I couldn’t wait to plug the numbers into NetWorthIQ so I did it first thing this morning.

As of the end of February, our net worth is now at a -$31,193. We were able to increase it by 5.87%. I am pretty darn happy with this increase. It is the largest monthly increase we have had so far.

As always, you can see how everything is spread out in my NetWorthIQ profile. I stay focused on our credit card debt on here, but we do have some lingering student loans and we have our mortgage.

We’ll see how we do for next month’s update. I’m still in that state of mind 🙂

Thankfully I am starting to feel a little bit more like myself. The flu bug that I had was pretty icky. Now that I’m feeling better, that means I can get caught up on things. A few things to come: finishing that huge post of tips on how to save money with groceries, a book review, some thoughts about Craigslist and eBay and some stories from my credit card past.

For now, here’s some articles that caught my eye this week:

Over at We’re In Debt, someone tried to jack their credit card. Scary!

Cleverdude is running a series on ways to save money. He even mentioned one that we are trying, blocking off unused rooms. Which reminds me, it’s probably a good time to see how our electric/gas costs are doing this year compared to last year.
