Eeeked Out $400 Net Worth Gain Despite it All

Our household finished the month with a networth of $395,800. During the month of April we had a number of expenses that represented a drag on our net worth. First of all, my wife traveled to Louisiana and spent about $1700 for her trip. Second, I had to spend about $980 on maintenance for our 2004 Lexus. Finally, I adjusted the values of our three investment properties further down from appraised value to fully account for local area broker fees that would be paid if the houses were sold.
