October 2011 Net Worth Update (+$9,000.12)

I’m posting this a few days early because I will be away on business. After a $6K+ drop in our net worth last month, I was happy to see it recover nicely this month. Our net worth increased $9,000.12 from last month, to a total of $148,403.51 (click on spreadsheet below).

What Worked
My wife’s 10% 401(k) contributions began this month. We contributed a total of $1,428.38 to our retirement accounts and saw them increase a massive $8,477.30. We also opened a Vanguard 529 Plan for our baby, funding it with $3,000 from our savings.

What Didn’t Work
Our savings balance dropped, but only to fund our son’s new 529 Plan.

Next Month
November looks to be shaping up as another strong month. I receive a 3rd “extra” paycheck that we should be able to bank 100% of.
