My net worth calculation went up significantly this month because I found out exactly how much money was sitting in my TSP account. I also tracked down all of my husbands retirement accounts. Our savings went down because of the change in how I am recording our cash savings.
Also, the market gods seemed to think that our house appreciated a little in value. Since I have no expectations of selling the house any time soon I’ll just have to take their word for it. Here are the three websites I use to calculate my average home value: Zillow, CyberHomes, and ColdWell Banker.
Here is the status of my May monthly goals and if I have completed any yearly goals:
Monthly:
- Create a budget – ensure EVERY penny is accounted and spoken for. Ensure a savings plan is in the budget – Done!
- Order School books for CS 140 - Done!
- Post Book Report for “The Millionaire Next Door” – Done!
- Join Pre-Paid Legal – Started the Process, follow up next month
- Make a decision on Life insurance and start the paperwork (USAA or Zanders) – move to next month
Yearly Accomplished Goals:
- Complete the registration with Park University – Done!
- Complete registration for GI bill benefits to pay for my schooling – Done!
Setting new goals for June and or rolling goals over from May the were not accomplished:
June Goals:
- Start Class
- Re-evaluate the budget and how it’s going. Start planing on expenses for the Child.
- Verify on GI Bill website that I am taking a class this month (end of Month)
- Post Book Report for Angels and Demons
- Continue working on the paperwork for Pre-paid legal (Roll over from May)
- Make a decision on Life insurance (Roll over from May)
- Create an account for the GI Bill money
- Fill out a Will and get it properly signed and saved
Got any ideas on how I can improve my calculations and figuring out my net worth? Please feel free to leave comments and questions.
