April 2013 Net Worth Update (-649.10)

Our net worth dropped for the first time since over 1 year ago (February 2012).  Our net worth decreased $649.10 from last month, to a total of $220,560.02 (click on spreadsheet below).

What Worked
We contributed a total of $818.88 to our retirement accounts and saw them increase $2,163.26 to $90,057.37 total.  My wife quit her new job after being stolen back by her old company for the same salary ($83,000).  What made her go back was confidence in selling the product (she made $28K in bonuses last year), a 410K with 6% company match, and an opportunity to further her career by selling another product.

What Didn’t Work
We took a good chuck of money out of savings to pay for a new fence and some bills.

Next Month
May should be a good month for us to get caught back up.  My wife and I both receive 3 paychecks in May.
