How Do You Measure Up Financially?

As many of you know, we have a monthly net worth review since we started in 2009.

Back then, we started with less than $5,000 for our family's net worth and now we're a bit over $60k.

I'm not going to lie- we absolutely love it when the numbers increase. However it's not the main objective of the review.

For us the net worth reviews are a way to help us see where we’re doing well and what we can improve on.

Taking a Peek at Other People's Finances

I noticed that our net worth review is one of the more popular series here.

I can see why – it's kind of fun to get an idea of what others are doing with their finances and comparing to you.

While I don't recommend keeping up with the Joneses, it can be motivating to take a peek and see how other people are faring.

I've been inspired by some personal financial bloggers to cut down on needless purchases and building up some income.

I believe that having a bit of positive peer pressure can be helpful to light a fire and get the ball rolling.
