Net Worth for October

I updated my Networth from October – down again, to $39,303. My cash savings went up 1% but my retirement savings went down 5%. My 401(k) annual rate of return is actually down 12%. (The actual number of shares are +22 since September 1st. That’s nice at least!) Deep breath, long term investment, deep breath, long term investment. Plus, I depreciated my car another $500. I’m really not sure what this asset is worth, so I may let it hang tight for a little while until I know more.

I mean, it’s just not a fun time right now. But there is perspective to be had. I’m (we’re) doing what we can – we’re pretty well off all and all, and in five years these dips will be just one blip on the Net Worth journey.
