Net Worth

At 22 years old with $50,000, I started tracking my net worth to see how I am progressing and how long it will take me to be worth $1 million. Now I’m 26 years old with over $200,000. Who knows how much I'll be worth by the time I'm old and wrinkly.

I use the free app - Personal Capital - to track my net worth along with Microsoft Excel. This app automatically tracks your income, spending, and investment. It takes a couple of minutes to create an account and set it up. If you are interested, please sign up via my referral link and we'll both receive a $20 Amazon gift card!

In my net worth amounts, I do not include my car and personal items of value like jewelry and purses. At this moment, it's pretty basic for me - checking and savings accounts, brokerage accounts, retirement accounts, health savings account and credit cards. You typically won't see liabilities in my net worth updates. I currently do not have any debt. My credit cards' monthly payment due dates are the 28th of each month, so I usually don't have a balance when the month ends.

Check back the first week of every month for my net worth updates. I'll be sharing all the details of what led to an increase or decrease of my net worth.
