December 2004 Financial Status
Ok, my planned “grand opening” for this site is January 1, 2005, since 1/1/05 looked like a nice number, and I just don’t have time to make things nice-lookin’ right now.
But I did want to make a quick snapshot of my current status for historical purposes:
Assets: *= pre-tax
———–
Cash Savings: $54,983
Brokerage (non-retirement) $ 7,808
Roth IRA: $ 2,001
Traditional IRA*: $ 5,383
401k*: $11,000
529: $ 1,097
———————————————
Total: $82,272
Liabilities
————–
Credit Cards: $26,522
Net Worth: $55,750
Don’t worry, most of my credit card debt is in 0% APR accounts, or I pay off the balance every month. More on that later…

I started blogging in December 2004, revealing our net worth of $55,750. As you can see on your top right of the screen, two years later we have doubled that! What better way to celebrate this success than to give away a bunch of stuff! [...]
