Net Worth, Year IV

In July 2019, my net worth was about $87,000 higher than last year.  I have some cash that is ready to be sent off to pay college tuition for child #2.  There’s was a lot less credit card debt, because I have paid off most of a one-time medical expense.  Thankfully, this was all on credit cards with a year-long zero-interest period.  The mortgage was a bit more paid off.  Investments were up by a little more than $50,000.  And finally, my little house is worth a bit more than last year.
