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. Well the markets decided to take a bit of a breather and pull back some during late January. That's bad for the net worth value but great for the long-term investor since we can buy more shares with the same amount of money. I was surprised to see how much of a drag the markets took on my net worth, but as more and more of my financial life is tied to the markets eventually a bad month would outweigh the fresh contributions. I was disappointed to see a net worth decrease since I saved over $5,300 from my after-tax paycheck, $1,400 in combined 401k contributions, $1,000 in ESPP withholdings and of course, my favorite, dividends. For January it came out to be a -$1,065.01 change in my net worth.
