Investing to Wealth

Today's net worth snapshot falls on our new son's 6 week birthday. Six weeks later also means that my wife will be going back to work next week! But a month and a bunch of poopy diapers later, we finally seem to be getting back on track this month with our net worth increasing 2.87%, for a dollar total of $4,374.81.

Two big differences between this month over last month was that we finally started to receive disability checks for my wife's maternity leave, and there were no big credit card purchases. Seems the stock market helped the retirement accounts a bit and the loans are being paid down slowly but surely. We'd like to save as much as possible because we'd like to purchase a house within the next several months to a year.

With my wife going back to work part time until September, it should be slow going the next several months. Oh, and the breast feeding wasn't working out too well for us, so that was stopped about 3.5 weeks ago. We'll have to shell out extra money for formula in the next several months. I believe we save a bit of money on formula by using power instead of liquid though. That, and various coupons I've found through out the net.

That's it for now. Looks like it's my turn to feed the baby...
