Money and Finance
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. Since more and more of my net worth is tied to the markets, there's a larger correlation between my net worth and the markets but in the long run as I continue to save and invest the net worth trend should be higher even though short term fluctuations can vary wildly. As a dividend growth investor I'm not overly concerned with the short-term gyrations as long as the dividend stream remains in tact, but the markets' effect is noticeable.
Much like November, December ended up being a pretty bland month in terms of net worth. The S&P 500 was down around 1.75% during December so essentially a flat month for my net worth again is fine by me since the majority of our net worth is tied to the performance of the stock market. Although market changes are generally just noise that are typically best to be ignored. Of course receiving over $840 in dividends and getting three raises to boot sure does help to ease the sting of market volatility. Dividends are great because they are always a positive portion of return. For the month our net worth declined by $224.62.
