February 2006 Net Worth Update (+$8,354)

Here's my net worth update for February as of 2/28/2006. I'm happy to report another solid month of gains. At this rate I have underestimated my 2006 financial goals and may need to revise them to challenge myself further for the rest of the year.

Highlights for February
-All credit card debt (except current month's purchases) is in the form of 0% APR balance transfers earning interest in my savings accounts.
-I have started to take an indepth look into my 2005 return on my entire net worth. I was shocked to learn my net worth only increased a net $2,094 (excluding savings) and am still trying understand what happened (Net Cash Return:$778, Net Retirement Return:$8,331 ).
-I revealed a little bit more of my background and how I got to my current financial state.
-I took a small trip for work this month and as a result am expecting reimbursement for ~$1200 in travel expenses (see receivable line item above).


Stock Investments for February (Outside of 401k & ESPP):
$500 in Roth IRA
$504 in JNJ in my Sharebuilder Account
Since I am still trying to increase my cash on hand (for major purchases in the months ahead), I refrained from additional investing for the month.
