While cash flow is more important when it comes to financial independence, it's still good to look at the balance sheet too, which is why I provide these net worth updates. The markets continued their march higher to close out the year which just serves the purpose of sucking more value away from me and my fellow dividend growth investors. However, thanks to the rising tide lifting all boats and a solid savings from my income, I was able to notch my 10th $10k+ monthly net worth increase. This was an amazing year as far as net worth goes and I didn't expect anything close to this kind of progress. Some of the lifting was due to the markets rising around 30% for the year but I still did my part by continuing to save and invest in high quality dividend growth companies. For December I ended up with a $12,115 increase with just over $950 in combined 401k contributions, $700 in ESPP withholdings, and over $5,900 in after tax savings. The rest of the change was due to market changes and dividends received throughout the month.
