Paul’s Net Worth Update – January 2013 – $319,259

Sorry about the lack of posts recently (no updates since September). I had been working overtime at work from August through November, and am just getting back into the realm of normalcy. However, I did record the numbers for October, but just didn’t post about them, so here they are first:

And the numbers for January:

Highlights from last month.

• Investments are up a substantial amount, mostly due to stock market gains, but partially due to the overtime pay from work. The overtime pay actually pushed me over the pre-tax 401k contribution limit for the year. I had my first post-tax contribution ever in the last paycheck of 2012!
• Cash is up in a big way, most of which has gone into our savings for a house down payment. This staggering increase results from my wife’s recent promotion at work and all of the overtime I had been working.
• Nothing fancy in the debt department other than a large credit card balance due to a recent trip. That will be paid off when the bill comes.
• A nice $20,000/6.5% increase in overall net worth since 1-October! Not bad for 3 months!

Check back soon for an analysis of my personal fiscal year 2012.
