Thoughts on Money, Investing and Life

Weekly Update: Back at Home!

Well, I’m back at home, and that means that it’s time to go through my finances and see where I stand.  I’m a bit nervous to see how my accounts stack up after spending a week out in California, spoiling my girlfriend (and at times, her sisters as well) and paying a premium on gas.  (To say nothing of the numerous tiny heart attacks I had driving on the California freeways; the higher insurance premiums when I get older aren’t going to be pretty.)

It was a fantastic trip, though, and I wouldn’t change the experience for the world.  Plus, it seems that the economy had something of a good few weeks while I was indisposed, so my net worth didn’t take quite the hit I feared it might while I was away.  Here, as always, is a summary of my finances:

Assets-5-23-2009

Debts-5-23-2009

A lot of changes with this one, although you wouldn’t know it from looking at my net worth change.  The increase in my investment values masked all the money I spent on the trip, leading to an increase in my overall net worth.  Hopefully, with my new job and a broader economic recovery (which I hope is here, but would not bet on), my net worth will only increase in the near future.
