January 2013 Net Worth Update (+5,730.49)

We had a good start to the year, especially considering that my wife is currently unemployed.  Our net worth increased $5,730.49 from last month, to a total of $217,949.71 (click on spreadsheet below).

What Worked

My 2.25% raise went into effect this month, unfortunately, it was absorbed by the increase in social security tax.  We contributed a total of $1,218.88 to our retirement accounts and saw them increase $4,643.05 to $82,636.21 total.
