I said a couple months earlier that I’d like to end 2007 with a $10,000 net worth.
A quick calculation shows that although I’m close at $9,459, I didn’t quite get there. Also, my net worth will decline quite signficantly in the next couple weeks because I have to repay part of the signing bonus from my former job – I’m not super stressed because I have enough money for the repayment, but it’s a blow to the financials nonetheless.
As long as we’re on the topic of net worth, I’m putting this out there: at the end of 2008, I will have a $35,000 net worth. The goal is utterly achievable if I stick to the savings & investing goals that I outlined earlier.

did you go through your calculation to find why you were not able to meet the goal. understanding that might help you to come up with more realistic goals for 2008. BTW congrats on increasing your net worth
How did you calculate your net worth? I think people do it differently, but I can’t really find anything that’s definitive.
Nice job..wait until you buy a house.
Hey, we’ve got the same net worth goal!
