Financial Snapshot: Net Worth Update October '06


This time around I did a better job of calculating my net worth. Last time I did not include some of the amounts by mistake thus you'll notice a sudden jump in my net worth. Hopefully from next month I will have a more uniform way of calculating and demonstrating my net worth and the increase or decrease in that amount.

Here is my % to goal illustration:

I was wondering what "banking" meant? Have you like put money in like CD or savings or what? I don't have much but I have started to save a penny here and a dollar there. I also signed up for the inbox dollars and got some money from there. I want to know if there are placed for good cd rates for people like me. i dont have much savings so i cant meet the 10k min most cds have.

Laura there are many options for you. There are many banks that offer low min balance requirments for CD's for example Citibank's 6 month CD is at 5.25% with a min of $500. Why don't you look into an online savings account so you have liquidity of funds and a high interest rate. Citibank at 5%, HSBC Direct at 5.05%, GMAC bank 5.25% and Eloan at 5.5%.
