Good job on the net worth thing. I like to ponder net worth with real estate. I’ve taught some classes on net worth vs. cash flow investors. You might want to check out my article (blog) on that topic at the following:

Hi Hank - Love your blog! I like the spreadsheet you use to track your networth. I have started tracking mine in Quicken, but have not been consistent in keeping it updated. Need to work on that. Be well! Alisa's last blog post..And June's Give Away Is...

@Vered – Yea, it’s a pain to see the interest rates low after seeing how they were over the last 5 years, but that’s how money works sometimes.

@Aaron – I’m thinking of getting away from it also – it’s not one of the main hitters on my site either – might be worth a poll in the next edition in June to see if anyone is interested in keeping it going.

I agree that debt has a more powerful impact currently, but it is also nice to see out long term and see where you are headed as well. It’s good to track both. I know you’re big on attacking the mortgage right now and that’s also important. Both carry their weight, just more with some than others.

Thanks both for stopping by!

I really don't track our net worth from month to month anymore, but I do keep track of our debt repayment. For me, watching those balances drop is more meaningful than watching our net worth rise. I think it's more meaningful because our debt has a more powerful impact on our current options than our net worth does. Aaron Stroud's last blog post..Our lives are a work in progress

Great progress, Hank. "Yea, 3.30% isn’t spectacular, but it’s better than chasing the rate around." - I agree. I've been trying not to worry too much about the low interest rates. Vered - MomGrind's last blog post..My Name Is Vered, And I’m a Mommyblogger Wannabe
