Highlights for June
- All credit card debt (except current month's purchases) is in the form of 0% APR balance transfers earning interest in my savings accounts. We paid off the last of our 0% balance transfers in January. The well has dried up for now, but we are ready to take advantages if any offers come our way.
- We track our real estate properties according to our cost basis (with the exception of House #3 which we may be selling soon).
- I am scratching my head a bit about the gains shown here for the month of June. My 401k gains doesn't correlate with that is being shown on my online satement form the 401k company. I can only offer that for some reason MS money must have had a lower value at the end of May for my 401k/investments. The end of June valuation appears correct, but the gains seem higher than expected.
- We made a $6,600 principal payment on a rental property (Rental #2). As I have previously mentioned this mortgage is the primary focus of any debt repayment of our since its the highest interest rate debt we have at 6.5%. We will likely alternate between paying down this debt and making additional investments with cash flow as investment opportunities warrant.
- Im considering refi the mortgage on the Rental #2 from the 6.5% 30yr fixed to a shorter term variable equity line. I forsee us paying this debt down substantially in the next 5-7 years and see that as an opportunity to focus our monthly payments on princial payments rather than interest payments.
- At the very end of June we picked up another 5 shares of Fairfax Financial when the price dipped down. The more research I do about this company the more I love it. Why couldn't I have found this business 5 years ago? Its a mini-Berkshire selling at below book value.
- I also signed a lease on Rental #1 this month and was able to collect a security deposit so cash is up more than normal, but its offset with the Rental deposit liability adjustment.
- Our 8 week old baby is completely consuming us - posting will remain lighter than usual until I get to sleeping a bit more.
- Investments were pretty flat for June - but still in positive territory.

How is that your primary mortgage did not go down a single dollar? Aren't you in a 30-year fixed non-interest-only mortgage?

Thats a good point. The mortgage payments usually run a month ahead - ie so I typically record the July 1 due date payment on June 29/30th. For some reason the auto drafts were running late this month so I didn't include them for any of the mortgages - normally these would knock out nearly $4k in cash for the 4 payments. Another reason why this month looks good.

Do you have any Term Insurance policies? I see that you do not include their surrender value here.

For the change column, I thought it's supposed to be Assets - Liabilities = Net Worth? so maybe $9K instead of $17K ?
