Further market instability yielded further losses in my net worth this month.Add to that some continuing educational expenses related to my wife's job, the final payment on my overseas trip, and some ancillary unplanned purchases and partying and it all added up to a very tough month - one of the worst month's ever.
Checking went down primarily due to the rent payment.
Savings increased when I transferred $4k out of the real estate account as well as some cash out of the brokerage account and into savings.
I did make a few bucks (less then $1k) in my brokerage account via some short term trades in some market based ETF's (trading TMW), taking advantage of some very low market swings, and then I transferred the earnings back into savings.
The retirement accounts just got pummeled... nothing else to say here.
The real estate account went down by $4k because a purchase deposit on another investment was refunded when the contract fell through, so the cash was transferred back into the savings account.
Let's hope next month is a bit brighter...
TELL ME HOW DID YOU DO THIS MONTH ??
