January 2009 net worth

January 22nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm

Assets:
NT's UK pensions: 7,250 pounds ($14,500)
10,725 pounds ($21,450)
NT's 401(k): $3,081
AS's 403(b): $3,058
AS's CD: $500
CJ's 401(k): $19,639
NT's flat: 130,000 pounds ($260,000)
CJ & AS's condo: $170,000
---
Total Assets: $492,228

Total Debt: $408,579

Current Estimated Net Worth: $83,649

December 2008 estimate: $81,526

Change in net worth: +$2,123

Summary: NT's and AS's retirement increased, but not enough to cover a loss of about $550 in my 401(k). So the jump in net worth is entirely due to paying down debt.

I haven't included my savings for the baby/emergency fund; I feel like that money is still in play and not secure enough to call an asset. Does anyone else count their emergency fund as assets?

I will update my "Individual Net Worth" page shortly so you can see how it breaks out.

Notes on the numbers above: House value estimates are conservative, and retirement totals don't include amounts currently unvested. I don't have a way to check NT's UK pensions, so their values stay static for the purpose of this update. UK asset values and debt amounts are calculated figuring $2 for every British pound, which was the exchange rate when I started keeping track. I maintain that ratio for the purpose of tracking progress, even though the exchange rate is now closer to $1.50 per British pound.

    I would probably call the emergency fund an asset. . . if I actually calculated our net worth (which I don't).

    Definitely count your emergency fund as an asset! Even if you might spend it tomorrow, today you still have it so it should be part of your net worth picture today.

    OK, cool! Next month I will count it. (Should make up for yet another dip in the value of my condo that I just found out about.)
