We tried home ownership and it wasn’t for us :) Felt too restrictive and hated the hassle of all the maintenance and stress it brought. Perhaps we’ll try again once we’re more settled, but for now we’re enjoying the freedom of renting and very much don’t consider it “throwing money away.” Contrary to popular belief, owning a home isn’t exactly the best “investment” – http://jlcollinsnh.com/2013/05/29/why-your-house-is-a-terrible-investment/

In reply to J. Money. How come you didn't want to be a part of home ownership? Just wondering because this would help build equity rather than throwing money for rent and not see your money again. So, I want to understand your perspective. I just got to your website and I have already enjoyed reading your financial blog. Very informative and beneficial. Keep up the good work!

I am officially half way through monitoring my net worth weekly for a year. I have seen a 2.39% increase in these six months. Thank you again for inspiring me to get serious about sharing my numbers. Hopefully the next six months are even better at getting me closer to zero.

Hi J. Money,

This is my first visit to your blog. Nice breakdown of your net worth. I was wondering that your house is not listed in the summary until I came to the part where you mention that you sold it.
