Net Worth Update - Beginning of Second Quarter of 2013

Here is an update on my net worth since last quarter. I'm happy to report that my numbers have improved across the board in all my assets. Some of the improvement is a little artificial because I am using Zillow to estimate the value of our house. I haven't really done anything special over the last 3 months, so it's nice to see my money is doing well.

Assets:
Approximate value of our house: $177,822 (+ $8,298 since last quarter)
Roth IRA: $28,064 (+ $1,755 since last quarter)
Simple IRA: $5,496 (+ $267 since last quarter)
Regular IRA: $1,585 (+ $62 since last quarter)
Lending Club: $209 (+ $3 since last quarter)
Savings (including emergency fund): $23,544 (+ $3,819 since last quarter)

Total assets: $236,720 (+ $14,204 since last quarter)

Liabilities:
Mortgage: $176,433 (- $1,507 since last quarter)

Total net worth: $60,287
Difference since last quarter: + $15,711
