We're heading into the final stretch here, the fourth quarter of 2006 has begun. I'm a stone's throw from $150k, and given a decent October, should get there by Halloween. The stock market has been positive, but with the Dow pushing its all time highs, and the historically worst month, October, upon us, I'm not feeling overy optimistic about the market short term. The key, however, is that it is a short term feeling. I'll set a rather modest goal for the end of the year. I would like to have a net worth of $155,000 by the New Year.
Here are the details:

Notes:
- FINALLY paid off my car loan. This was a big piece in reducing my outstanding liabilities by 10% from last month. The remaining debt is the first three credit cards which are the result of current personal and business expenses and will be paid in full at the end of each month. The Chase and Citi cards are 0% balance transfers. I don't pay credit card interest.
- Spending: Not a bad month, and we're sort of in the middle of the quiet before the storm that is Holiday season. Not to mention that I have two weddings to attend in November (who gets married in football season?) which will require gifts.
Oddly, I'm going to Vegas again this weekend. Seems to be a monthly trip. This one is both work and fun. I'm bringing my winnings from the last Vegas trip as my gambling money. Hopefully I increase my net worth again!
Congrats on wiping out the car loan!

Tell me about it! I have a friend getting married the day of the USC vs. Notre Dame game (in Southern California). What are these people thinking? ;)
