My last net worth update was meh, so I’m getting back into it to make sure I’m still on track. I went from obsessively tracking everything to basically logging into Personal Capital only when I start a blog post. Even *I* have no idea how I’m doing 😀
After logging in… the 90 day change is… +$5,645. Perfectly average. Mediocre really. Let’s get into it!
As it turns out – the 60 day change is far less impressive 🙃 time to REALLY get into it.
| | August 2021 | June 2021 |
| Cash | 5201 | $7,748 |
| Investments | 71997 | $64,844 |
| Net Worth Total | 74,723 | $74,234 |
Some thoughts
Honestly, I’m so happy to the investments going up because this is money that I chose to invest for our future!!!! I made about $3,000 in contributions to our brokerage account and that is nothing to sneeze at.
I ALSO took $3K out to invest in a flip that a friend is doing, which is not reflected here. Hoping for a 30%+ return inshaAllah.
A breakdown of my most of my expenses
Ahhh, finally, breakdown time, aka the time I truly re-think everything in my life.
| Car | $413.25 | I AM ALMOST DONE PAYING OFF MY CAR!!!!!! |
| Restaurants | $748 | Up from $572 the last time I tracked this. Obviously, this is going well. Sushi, bartaco, fish taco, shake shack…starbucks… are the major offenders. |
| Job Stuff | $642 | A new category for a myriad of job hunting related stuff. Mostly, this is a $500 fee to have my resume looked over. |
| Personal Care | $251 | Orangetheory membership, and some other personal care purchases. |
| Clothing | $93.40 | An improvement from $800+ last month. |
| Home Improvement | $519 | $200+ at Ikea and another $200+ Amazon. I don’t |
| Entertainment | $41 | Kindle and Hulu and Spotify and Netflix |
| Travel | $114 | Uber, EZ Pass |
| Groceries | $377 | Up from $290. |
| Insurance/Auto | $360 | Car insurance, some car parts |
| Gas | $290 | And we’re still working from home 😅 |
The Life Part:
I also want to document some general life wins, because it’s easy to forget all the good things that happened:
Some wins from June:
- I TOOK A VACATION!!!!! With a friend! And while I missed Mr. H, it was truly amazing getting 10 blissful days in California with no expectations. So relaxing.
- That is it, that’s the highlight.
