Taking a Hit to My Net Worth

by Flexo on March 14, 2005. Education Saving 3 comments.

Since I resumed taking classes for my MBA, I now have a new student loan. The way this works is I take a loan at the beginning of the “semester” and after each six-week class ends, I wait two weeks for a 90% reimbursement from my company. On my next monthly update, you’ll see my net worth decrease quite a bit, but as I get reimbursed for the education expenses, my value should normalize.

In other news, Consumerism Commentary, this website, is now available at its own domain name: consumerismcommentary.com. Please update your links when you get a chance.

Some more late-breaking news: the rumor has come to fruition. Emigrant Direct is now officially offering an interest yield of 3.25%.

I’m also working towards my MBA, and my employer pays tuition and expenses. Rather than have your networth take a hit, set up an account that tracks what your employer owes you, almost like you are loaning them the money for the period of the semester. That way you won’t see huge fluctuations in your net worth, and any fluctuations you do see will be more meaningful.

I don’t quite know why… but Websense identifies consumerismcommentary.com as in the category of “Sex.”
