This last month was much kinder to me than July.  Even with how volitile the stock market has been recently I’ve managed to show $5242 increase in our family networth.  At first I was disappointed with this increase.  Then I saw that this equated to a monthly return of 1.79%.  The works out to an annual return of 21.48%.  Adjusting the amounts for the monthly 401K contributions my monthly return was 1.40% or about about 16.80% annually. Neither return is something to complain about.

My alternate income only grew by $7 this month or 4.55%.  I am disappointed with this but not very surprised.  I am still learning how blogs and internet marketing works.  I’m not very good at it but I am learning.  I am also trying to get my wife involved in blogging and doing online stores through Amazon and eBay.  She recently found out she has Celiacs Diesease.  She’s been doing a lot of research on it which would give her a good starting point for a blog and online glutton free store.
