Net Worth Update: March 2013
Happy April Fools Day yesterday! Sorry about misleading you – Mortimer is completely fictional, and there is no new author coming to PoorerThanYou at this time. You’re stuck with just me, for now!

Net Worth Update: December 2012 – February 2013
The world didn’t end and I somehow entered my 27th year more-or-less unscathed. So how did the financials stack up, when 2012 was all said and done? (And 2013 is already 1/6th of the way done! Egads!) December: +$832 +3.94% January: +$1,462 +7.20% February: +$2,072 +11.00% That, my friends, is what I call three productive [...]
Net Worth Update: November 2012
I’ve been testing out some new money tactics, with the goal of getting my net worth up to $0 by September 2014. But November, the month of a big charity event and the lead-up to Christmas, is a tough place to start. How am I doing? Change: +$379 or +1.76% Upwards! But not upwards “enough” [...]
Net Worth Update: October 2012
This month, I pulled my credit report to review it. You know, from AnnualCreditReport.com (the only free authorized source), like you’re supposed to do every four months or so. I’m happy to report there are no issues, but it started the ball rolling on something for me. A challenge, you might say. But first, the [...]
Net Worth Update: September 2012
It’s been a while since we checked in on my personal net worth progress, and there’s been a bit of excitement these past months – so it’s about time I got with the sharing, don’t you think? February: +$2,019 or 7.52% March: +$3,039 or 12.24% April: +$445 or 2.04% May: -$393 or -1.84% June: +$359 [...]
Net Worth Update: January 2012
You know, I can remember being in ninth grade Global History class, learning about the Mayan calendar and the urban legends about the end of the world, and thinking “Gosh, in 2012, I’ll be 25, turning 26! I’ll be a real adult by then!” Ten years later, I’m figuring out that being 25 and being [...]
Net Worth Update: December 2011
Hey guys! So remember that time I stopped writing for more than six months? That was funny, right? Hahahaha… ha… ha. Sorry about that. Let’s get back to business. Change (from the last update in April): +$2323 or +8.63 % That’s a pretty respectable climb (more than 1% per month!) in numbers, but the graph [...]
Net Worth Update: April 2011
I just flew in from Rochester, and boy, are my arms tired! Actually, my everything is tired. The NASA Tweetup for the shuttle launch finally happened, but the shuttle launch itself didn’t. And I jet-setted all around the East Coast to be there and get to a wedding back home… but I haven’t got a [...]
Net Worth Update: Quarter 1, 2011
Welcome back, for another quarterly update on my financial situation! I’m your host, Can’t-Manage-to-Post-Monthly Stephanie! Boy, do I have a lot in store for you this time – but first, the numbers! January: $617 or +2.28 % February: ($3,104) or -11.74 % March: ($211) or -0.71 % Yeeeee-ouch! What happened here, young lady? No worries! [...]
Net Worth Update: Quarter 4, 2010
Erm, oh, hi there! I could have sworn I was better about updating than this. I can’t believe you’re still around, reading this at all! (And believe me, I am truly grateful that you are!) I could make a bizillion million excuses for why I haven’t been around. But the truth is, things have been [...]
