Net Worth Update

As of September 1st, my net worth was $143 703 (down 2.2% from $146 887). If I exclude house-related assets and liabilities, my net worth was $97 126 (down 3.7% from $100 844). The last two months were hard on my net worth, due to expenses related to my vacation. This was compounded by the volatile markets, which cut down the value of my investments.

You may have noticed that my net worth updates are now bi-monthly instead of monthly. This started out because of the timing of my vacations over the summer, but since I have found that I've got less time to blog, I will probably keep it that way moving forward. I still track my numbers every month, though I will only report them every two months.

Chances are that my next update will also show negative results, because we are replacing the roof in September.
