Net Worth: December 2006
So I want to keep track of my net worth on a monthly basis but I’m undecided whether I want to post it over the Internet. However, how else are you readers going to know how I’m progressing? I always find it interesting reading other personal finance blogs to see how their net worth is doing, so I’m leaning towards posting mine. Besides, it will be an interesting read a few years down the road.
Anyways, here it goes:
Assets
Cash: $3000 (this fluctuates)
Savings: $25000
Registered Investment Account: $32000
Non-Registered Investment Account: $38000
Real Estate: $ 266500 (2 properties)
Vehicles: $20000 (2 vehicles) (this will decrease in a hurry)
Total Assets: ~$384500
Debts
Mortgage Debt: $178000
Car Loan: $8000
Total Debts: 186000
Total Net Worth: ~$198500
I don’t think I’ve ever done a calculation like that to determine my (along with my wife’s) net worth. To be honest, I’m surprised that it’s so high. I’m not a big fan of using cars as a component of net worth as their values decrease so quickly but I will for arguments sake.

Hey Jonathan,
Thanks for the compliments. I was looking at your site and i’m wondering if Jones Soda one of your biggest investments? If so, why?

I’m very agressive. Currently employing the “All eggs in one basket” strategy which isn’t adviceable unless you have a very good basket. ;) Which at this point I do and expect it to get better during 2007. I will be shaving profits off during the year and going back to fundamental analysis and gut feelings about industries. I dig your site nice work!
