January 2018 Net Worth Update (+$43,834)




Highlights for January

  • January was another incredible month of growth for our net worth growth kicking of 2018 with a nice start.
  • Only a few days into the new year and I had to unexpectedly replace a HVAC system at a rental property for $4,400. That is what our cash/emergency funds are for.
  • For the first time in a long time I got *close* to an overdraft situation in my checking account. My primary mortgage company somehow withdrew my January mortgage payment twice in January and then I had a multitude of Dec bills withdrawing from my account in early December. Its thrown my monthly cash flow cycle of income/payments off for a bit and Im still shuffling money around my cash accounts to re-adjust.
  • Late January we got into vacation planning mode planning a short Spring break trip on the Virginia coast (using hotel points), and a week in the NC Outerbanks during the summer (renting a condo for a week).
  • Our monthly spend still seems high. Its the new normal it seems, and I keep talking about reducing our spending run rate, but no progress. With healthy net worth growth its more palatable for me.
