February Financial Update February 20
I got my IRS tax refund last week. I had said I was going to get a macbook pro with part of the refund. The refund made me hit another financial milestone. Ever since I bought my townhouse, my net worth exclusive off the house and car was negative. It always bothered me that me when I looked at my net work on Fidelity, it showed negative. I would know that really was not at a negative net work, but it was nevertheless bothersome. Well as February 16, 2007 this is no longer the case. This event caused me to rethink the timing of my macbook pro purchase. I think I am going to wait till bonus time which is in August. I will get a macbook pro then. The timing works out better since leopard (Apple’s new operating system release) will be out by then.
My sporadically reported net work is: assets are $55,111.78 higher than the same time last year, my liabilities are $9,392.17 lower than last year. This brings my net worth $64,503.95 higher than the same time last year. I am very happy which my progress so far. I am still below my goals that I set at the end of last year, but I think as the year goes on, I will be to meet my goals.
