Tasha 2013 Review

December 20th, 2013 at 03:48 pm

Like Monkey Mama- I am DONE with 2013! Aside from my daughter's birth- I am remembering a lot of bad times.

2013 was one of those years where so much happened- it feels like it was 5 years long.

In the past I tracked my net worth randomly. So I don't have exact numbers.

Surprisingly (shockingly), we are UP in net worth at the end of this year. This is surprising considering that we have so many people who owe us money. And we spent so much money in California. And I quit my job in April. And our rentals were all vacant at one time or another for multiple months this year. And husband bought a used $12k truck that turned out to be a lemon and has cost us $17k in repairs (seriously I want to heave that truck over a cliff). And I have paid out over $12k in COBRA since I quit my job.

The reason we are up is threefold: Our real estate properties have increased in value because the market has gone up. And my mortgage payments decreased our debt. Also our retirement accounts have gone up. And husband got a workman comp settlement.

So amazingly our net worth has increased although liquid cash is way down.

2014 is going to be a banner year though. I am back on my A game.

Going to create goals in the next few days.

    13 must not be our number. Here is to 2014!

    While you found 2013 fraught with problems, there is huge value in working out a statement of Net Worth which also identifies issues/leakage. I hope you'll take the time to set goals with timelines for 2014. I can't explain it but somehow the act of writing out a plan makes it happen. If modification are needed as things change, it's easier.

    you're willing to take control and I'm confident you'll be successful.
