Net Worth Update: June 2008

It’s my favorite time of the month again! Regular readers will know that’s not sarcasm, but rather indicative of my sick love for numbers and data. Time to see how it all added up, with this month’s net worth update:

Change: -$69 or -0.20 %

Down! But I’m not really stressing about it. Two factors in this month’s decrease:
1) I didn’t start my summer job until the 10th of the month, so I only got one paycheck for June.
2) I’m still figuring out how to read the government’s horrendous student loan website. I think I’ve finally got it, but that means an increase in the student loan amount, due to a more accurate number for the interest that’s accumulated.

I’m still depreciating my car by $50 a month, to get it closer to the current value.

I have high hopes for next month. I don’t want to jinx it by saying something, so keep this on the downlow: Next month just might see the end of my credit card debt!
