It's time for a check in on my net worth... here are the current numbers:

Total net worth not including the house: -$81,053
Difference of -$7,720 since last quarter

Our savings have dropped a bit due to getting our house re-sided. I thought we overpaid:( It's disappointing to work and save for so long and then spend it so easily. Sadly my husband want to buy a brand new truck. He bought a brand new Ford Ranger in 2001 and I think he said he paid $14,000. To buy a comparable brand new 4 wheel drive truck now (they no longer make the Ranger), it would cost about $40,000 after tax and fees. Wow!  Has inflation really been that bad?
