For the First time I decided to start tracking everything! From income to my expenditures to my investments to analyze where my money is going and where improvements can be made.

Total Expense minus investments $3641.22
Total Investments this Month $3132.45 ( I had some Cash on Hand)
% Of Actual
Monthly income invested 44.1% (I consider this good as I have a mortgage as
well which in turn will be an investment)
From this the
areas I see I could make cuts are mainly food, misc and fitness. Fitness is
usually no cost to me as I have a home gym and powerlift however, from time to
time I need to buy something. I consider this a better investment than throwing
money away on a gym membership and for the most part I buy quality gear which
if needed I could re-sell.
Food is a
waste and where I live it is very expensive to eat healthy right now I am
eating for about $15/ Day. I would like to get this down closer to $10/Day and
I would be happy.
Misc expenses
seem to catch up with me and I will try and lower this cost going forward as
well.

From the above my net worth is about $146,061.23. I am very pleased with this number I just turned 28 years old and I have only been working for 3 years thus far. I feel good with my progress and my hard work seems to be paying off.
