Well here we are in month 2 of Net Worth decline.

This is when it helps to have that well rounded portfolio of assets. The markets are up and down quite a bit since the beginning of the year. Soldier on, stiff upper lip.

I did my first podcast interview this month! Millionaires Unveiled #24!

I also went on a spring break to the Gulf of Mexico. I will eventually add this to my Travel Log.

Net Worth equals total Assets minus total Liabilities.

Tracking your own net worth is perhaps the second most important thing you can do to improve your financial picture. Budgeting your expenses to see where the money goes is probably still number one.

Budgeting is like paying attention to ball game while tracking net worth is like paying attention to the baseball season.

Months can goes up or down, you need a longer picture to evaluate your progress. You are either bringing in more money than you’re spending or you are losing money each month. Tracking Net Worth is easy, useful, and addictive.

Don’t Forget; “Comparison is the Thief of Joy”
