NET WORTH MILESTONE: $580,000

1 Comment

We just passed our net worth milestone of $580,000!  This is primarily due to a $12,500 (gross) signing bonus that my wife received for her new job.  We passed our previous net worth milestone of $570,000 last month.

Our net worth is currently $581,054.24.  I will update our chart on the right at the end of the month.  We hope to hit our next net worth goal of $590,000 by August.
