Not sure when I’ll be up in DC, but I’ll let people know. Maybe February or March. :)
And that was my NW this week, so I’m still behind you. Also, I’ll have to take a loan out next semester for some things, so I’ll probably lag behind for awhile. Still, I thought it was funny it was only off by a few bucks.

Was just updating my budget (recently moved and I’m having to alter some things) and I remembered you post about your net worth. Just realized mine right now is almost exactly what yours is. It’s off by about $12. Kinda funny. :)

@Hank – Haha… well, now I can’t help but think of your name every time I sit down to do these :) We gotta get together again sometime soon… maybe at a military blogging conference/show?

@Deb – My bad! Sometimes it’s hard to tell via text if someone’s being sarcastic or not – and I had been getting a few negative hits on the side so it must have stuck that way to me. Sorry about that.

I did like what you just said though – “It was more to make everyone feel good about their saving too.” That’s a great point! Since I’m not investing right now I have much more in the cash savings department, which others should keep in mind when comparing. Hope you have a good weekend over there :)

I did not mean what I said as a knock on you or to make me feel any better about anything. I was just saying that once you break it down, people commenting on here that say they could never save that much may also be saving 4, 5 or 6K in another fashion if they think about it. It was more to make everyone feel good about their saving too.I also said that was a very high amount and that you did a great job. You did not choose to read that part I guess. I guess I won’t bother with any analysis to your blog anymore. Just keep in mind that your not the only one “hussling” and working your ass off.

Thanks for the shout out and so prominently in the opening line too! I had no idea when you mentioned it to me on Twitter that I would be in the first sentence. But, what can I say other than….. You make me sick! No….really, that’s awesome that once again you are raking in the dough. I’ve actually stopped looking at my own net worth updates every month. Instead, I just recalculate it all quarterly. Watching the change quarterly makes me feel better deep down inside because the increases are much larger that way! Anyway….keep up the great work. You’re still my inspiration.

@retirebyforty – Because I’m getting ready to go out on my own soon ;) Gotta keep those cash reserves on hand if I wanna try this this full-time!
@Cat – You most certainly can :) Just takes time and patience my friend… and a butt load of hard work.

I have a difficult time even Imagining a net worth of that much with all this debt!!! I sure hope I can do that one day!

Your cash saving is huge! How come you don’t put some of that into an individual investment account?
