As of the end of August our Net Worth increased to $715,629 from $697,342 for the month which is a 2.62% increase. For now the markets look like the have settled but we will have to wait and see if the economy slowly starts to recover.
The breakout is as follows:
ASSETS
Retirement Accounts $342,413
Taxable Accounts $113,367
Cash $13,660
Home $205,000
Cars $10,000
Personal Property $3,000
Kids 529 Accounts $28,189
DEBT
Credit Card $0
Here is the summary for this month:
Our Net Worth increased the past month again due to the stock market increase and we paid off all our credit debt. We will continue to use our credit cards for rewards but payoff the balances each month. I received around $1,000 in dividends for the month and have used the cash from these dividends to make additional stock purchases of our dividend stocks but I have not been adding much extra money.
We will be building up our cash over the next few months to increase our cash reserves. You can click on my Net Worth graph on the right to see the changes in each category from the previous month. I continued funding our Roth IRA's each month.
I will post my Dividend Income Update on Wednesday.

Div Guy - your cash holding look a little small to me. Also, are your diversified internationally?
I am building up my cash again after spending quite a bit to purchase new AC's and furnaces.
I have several international and global stocks as well as international and emerging market index funds with Vanguard.
