Photo by: meyshanworldThis week wasn’t so great – the stock market was down, so investments were down, and on top of it someone broke into my car and stole my stereo, DVD/TV setup all while tearing up the inside of my car. Ugh, that’ll hit the ol’ expense book and will hinder the 4k I [...]
Photo by: matangueroThis week I found myself fighting back the elusive CPU quota exceeded errors I was getting from Bluehost.com because I was getting a lot of hits from the Magic Quadrant of Personal Finance and “Why is it taboo to talk salary?” posts I tossed out this week. I like it because of the [...]
Welcome to 2008 – hope the new year treated you all well. I’m working on a project to revamp the site with Jon Phillips and should have at least a rough draft here in the next few weeks. I like this design, but he’s let me know there are a handful of things that need [...]
Photo by: tloe I came down with a cold this week, and the site hit its CPU utilization threshold about 4 or 5 times, so the site was in some trouble, but I’ve found a WordPress guru named Jon Phillips who has been very helpful thus far; and we may even be looking to revamp [...]
Looks like I’m starting off the new year relatively clean; up 2.02% from December 2007. The house is still flailing a bit and my bet that Dodge & Cox (DODFX) would payoff for my new 401k allocation – The wifes 401k, on the other hand, stayed in REREX and the ol’ target fund TRRDX which [...]

Sorry this is a few days late – my Life Insurance statement hadn’t come in the mail yet; yes, the mail. This is another reason I’m going to dump it. I like to have everything online at my fingertips and I can’t see this account online yet. So tt wasn’t too bad of a month across [...]
Well, here it is, November 1, 2007 and the first actual comparison I can do as I started last month. A few additions to this version: 1. Adding in the timeshare worth. 2. Wife upped her 401k contribution to 10% making her 401k the biggest jumper at 19.77% 3. Reached over the 100k limit and [...]
So I refined the ol’ net worth to better reflect and build on my other investments – I think I have a pretty good handle on it now, and I can relate this spreadsheet far better in the weeks, months and years to come. It is really amazing that as bad as the initial -420k [...]
