Net Worth Update: March & April

I have continued to update NetworthIQ regularly every month. I didn't get around to a blog post to go along with it last month, but I'm still keeping up with the data. Thankfully the market has rebounded and with my new contributions it has made a big impact. I've added a good amount to the net worth figure in the last two months.

There have been a few interesting financial events lately. My paid for car has been giving me trouble all along and I decided to replace it. I bought a very lightly used (14k miles) 2008 Hyundai Elantra. It was priced very nicely and I think I got a good deal. The downside is that I added a new monthly payment to the mix. Overall it seems like a good reasonable expense to keep reliable transportation.

I've also done some projects around the house. I'm 90% done installing a tile backsplash in the kitchen. It's taken a big investment of time but not a large dollar cost (~$500). I'm also battling the weeds and grass in the yard now that it has warmed up. I need to buy some trees and shrubs sometime soon too.

I'll try to keep up with the blog a bit more over the Summer and write a bit more often. Certainly check out my NetworthIQ page and the blog to follow my updates.
