Highlights for March
-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 hit a milestone this month as my net worth reach 10% of my personal finance goal.
-I continued my indepth look into the 2005 return on my entire net worth (Net Taxable Investment Accounts:-$685, Net Company Ownership Return:-$8,892 ).
-I calculated the cost basis for my rental property and then determined the depreciable amounts of personal property, land improvements and building structures.
Stock Investments for March (Outside of 401k & ESPP):
$450 in Roth IRA
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.

Yup thats a fair assessment on my Roth IRA.The $3k bump in my 401(k) should be contributions, matching contributions, and some gains.

Milton,I would suggest getting some personal finance software if your serious about tracking your finances. It will take some time to get everything set up, but I think you will notice a difference. I don't know how anyone manages their finances without some sort of system. I think Quicken and MS Money are both good choices.
