Boy, July really flew by. Unfortunately, I’ve been pretty stressed all month and as a result made several silly financial mistakes. At least they were nothing terrible.

Also, my net worth decreased dramatically this month, because I bit the bullet and recorded yet another large drop in the value of our home. I hope that’s the last one, and that things head up from here on out.

Here are the numbers for July:

Assets: Down $18435.19
Liabilities: Up $263.36
Change in net worth over previous month: Down $18,698.55

And with that, it’s on to a few links that I found interesting this week:
