Well it looks like this will be the first year since 2002 that our net worth has dropped from the start of the previous year. Unless something big happens on the 31st, we are looking at a 0.4% drop.
Since my my wife and I are retired, this is not to bad. Disclaimer: the wife does teach a online class so there is a little additional income there. But it takes very little of her time.
That's great Gardnr! I've never been good with budget stuff.
Our property taxes went up a lot this year and, as we have 3 rental properties, the impact was pretty significant. If the market looks good in the spring, we will probably sell at least one.
My average spending is down $25 per month from this time last year. I want to do even better in the year ahead.
The last 4 years are all the same spending between 60-70k/year. We bring in 62 and take the rest from savings. Usually 10k of that is vacations.
I have done great, even with slightly sloppy recrd keeping. Staying aware of the big picture and how your spending effects your quality of life has worked very well. The value of my small condominium has gone up over the last five years since I bought it. Bicyclist
But we are in spending mode at this stage of our lives.
