October 2015 Net Worth Update (+$67,372)

Highlights for October

With the holiday vacation Im finally catching up for the past couple months and posting our monthly reports.
Our properties are listed on our balance sheet based on their cost basis, not current market value. We have done this during the the real estate market highs and lows. I believe real estate is too illiquid to list based on recent sale transactions.
In October our family of 4 took a trip down to Florida and took a 7 day NCL cruise to the Caribbean. It was a bit more hectic vacation than my wife and I expected, but it was still great to get away and a good value for us.
Our investment portfolio gained 7.34% in October which is a huge recovery, but significantly below our benchmark (8.47%).
Overall it was a good month that recovered the paper losses we recognized for the past 2 months.
