For the First Time in the History of This Blog, Our Net Worth Decreased

by

Today I repeated the same that that I do every month. I plug in our assets and liabilities into my NetWorth IQ profile and hit save and then see how much our net worth has increas…

You can only imagine how I stared at the computer screen when I saw that it decreased this time around. It decreased by $860 to be exact. Don’t get me wrong, I knew there would be rough patches on this journey and I can name a few right off bat. I always hoped we could make some sort of progress with the net worth. I guess April proved to be too formidable a foe. Reduced income and increased expenses are a bad combination and when I post our income and expense report you will see what I mean. I’m hoping to get that posted in a more timely manner this month.

I guess I’m not really upset or angry that our net worth decreased. I am trying to liken how I feel to something that you can relate with but I can’t. It’s a very odd feeling that probably is exaggerated due to me being quite tired right now.

In any case, feel free to check out the total extent of our debt at my NetWorth IQ profile. For a little pick-me-up, I decided to see how much we have reduced our total debt since February of 2006 (I only track the credit card debt on here):

TOTAL DEBT

February 2006: $105,468
April 2007: $86,243

We paid off $19,225!

Yes, that was a good pick-me-up. I’m glad I did it.

Now I’m getting some sleep 🙂
