Retirement and Blog Details

For starters, I'm working on making my blog easier to read. I added a "Starting Debt" and "Current Debt" sidebar, and I consolidated some of my post "labels." I'm getting there!

Also, I should note that I actually have around $20,000 in my 401K. Well, it took a significant hit, recently, so it's down somewhere around $19K, but I'm just leaving it and letting it ride out the stock market burp. I've got plenty of time. I'm investing rather aggresively in real estate, which is supposed to take a hit, but I figure it's going to be worth a lot in a few years (also, it's still out-performing all the other options).

I realize, with this 401K, I'm damn close to actually having a net worth. My car is probably worth about 1K more than I owe, so my assets are about $25K and my debt is $29K. Is it sad that I'm so pleased with this?

My new goal is to achieve net worth. I'm only $4K away!
