Net Worth Update July 2017: $41,518

I’m still growing my net worth, even if this month vs last month is a small gain.

Net Worth: $41,518

Analyzing the Month

I paid down a little bit to credit cards and student loans, which helped. But the main reason this was a net positive month is all due to my ongoing 401(k) contribution. Most of my investment accounts were down compared to last month, but by shoveling more money into savings, I still came out ahead.

    Very nice job on keeping track and being on top of things.

    Curious to know why so many credit cards? Why not maintain 3-4 that provide you with the best perks?

      Great question! I’ll try to write a post soon that goes more in depth into my different credit cards and overall credit card philosophy and use. The short version – I do kinda only use 3-4 that have the best perks, but for the most part I’ve kept unused cards open to rock out having a larger amount of credit available to me. I’ve tapped into different ones for different perks before. Like I used a card that’s been dormant for a year because it had the best special offers available, allowing me to take advantage of a 0% interest offer with a 2% balance transfer fee to make a huge purchase.
