May was another down month for my net worth but overall it was worth it for what I did to lower it. My debt is now gone so I'll get to start saving a lot more of my income. My first back to back negative month just happened of course that's going to start happening as more and more of my net worth is tied to the movements of the markets. There was another round of wedding payments in May which helped to lower my net worth. For the month I contributed just under $900 to my 401k between my contributions and the employer match plus another $475 to the ESPP. From my take home pay, I saved $320 to my savings accounts and $2,987 for extra debt service. Overall my net worth was down $911 for the month.
