Monthly Net Worth Statement

Different month, same result. My net worth dropped for the fifth straight month and has finally crossed over into the red ($-544). My Zillow home value has fallen for the fourth straight month. There have been no sales in my development and the mortgage rates are beginning to creep upwards. Sure, that makes sense. No repairs to my home to report. Check out my numbers in the NetWorthIQ chart to the right. Good game, net worth.

My car has actually gained a few hundred in value. It might be an error by Kelley Blue Book, but I’ll take it. My eBay sales are near non-existent. To top it off I got shafted when I misquoted on an estimate and had to honor the incorrect price. I need to shut down my store. It’s just not worth my time and effort. I will close at month’s end. Good game, eBay.

My full-time job was stable with business showing a gradual increase, but August is looking curiously bad, but that’s next month’s entry. My unemployed sister is running out of payments, but she’s at the point of cashing in my change jars and selling my old TV on Craigslist, so I’m going to carry her even more. In other news, my last employer let go another 70 people this week, one of whom fainted when they told him. The paramedics came and carted him off. When I left there were 500+, now only 180 or so left. My Fortune 100 employer from 2 jobs ago laid off 120 people from my old office last week leaving just 270 or so. Good game, recession.

My credit card balances are just unstoppable. Between my sister and two girlfriends (one of whom just lost her job), my wallet is hurting. I need to drop at least one. I’d really prefer dropping my sister. Well, let’s see how low I can take this thing. Buckle up. See you next month.
