August has come and gone in a hurry. As you might have noticed, I didn’t make a single blog post in August! This really isn’t acceptable, and I promise I’ll make a couple in September! A lot has been going on. Firstly, I’m switching jobs! I am leaving my first job after just over a year, and move to another company. I’ll be doing something similar, but gaining other experience. It should also decrease the hours I’m working so that I can focus on my online business some more. Now, money wise, I stayed flat for August. This is due to my investments falling $1.5k, and my purchase of a new TV. That’s right, I said it…I purchased a new TV! I’d resisted making any big purchases since starting my job last August and I finally broke down. I’ve worked my butt off for the past year, increasing my net worth by over $34k in a year! I decided to celebrate my purchasing a new TV, which I’ve been wanting for a while. The TV cost me $1.2k and I won’t be buying a new one for at least three years. Now, about that flat-lining net worth…I’m not too worried. Between April and June of this year my net worth had not changed. Then, the next month, it increased by almost $7k! While this month was flat, I expect my net worth to make another jump this next month when I receive a signing bonus at my new job and receive my accrued vacation paid in cash. Check out the numbers below for yourself.
great updates!!I think I have to do mine too…
Eek, that much money on a tv! Haha, you are right you did increase your networth quite a bit and I suppose that we each want different rewards so good for you!
I’d love to do mine too just like this…Thanks for the idea…
You are still good in budgeting, for me…Now I got an idea here…
