September 2006 – Retirement NestEgg Report

September 2006 – Retirement NestEgg Report

Well it’s the first time in a while all of my accounts were going in the right direction for the month. I also surpassed the $40,000 mark this month for the first time. While it’s not exactly a milestone it’s kind of nice to see the progress. Also my investments repassed my principal invested, which means I actually made some money on my investments as a whole 🙂

My Roth IRA – $10,634.49 (+4.37%)
Wife Roth IRA – $11,701.88 (+0.77%)
Traditional 401K – $10,843.17 (+1.44%)
Roth 401K – $6,915.85 (+14.46%)

Total Retirement Nest Egg $40,095.39 (+4.05%)

My other $100,000 by Age 30 goal
