Whoooo as of today, my net worth is now a whooping $403!! I haven't been "in the green" for a while now. This net worth doesn't account for my posessions (ie: car worth $14,000 according to KBB), it only accounts for my IRA, 401K, savings...
Thanks everyone!! I think my boyfriend is finally jumping on board with being cheap. He still loves frivolous stuff and I don't deny him because this is my debt, not our debt. I think as for myself, I've been doing a ton better. My main goal is...I refuse to marry my boyfriend until I'm 100% out of debt (even better would be to have a healthy savings). That really gets me by...this weekend I was online looking at my favorite store having a massive sale and while there was nothing I wanted, I also thought about how that sale turns into interest rates accumulated on my CC. Oof! Not a sale anymore!!
Net worth is either a total motivation tool or gut wrencher. It helps me know that I'm not entirely in trouble. Being able to know I am out of the deepest part of the water helps me get by.
Hey, 'being green' IS the cool thing now a days!
