Net Worth Report for September 2008


I paid off the last of my student loans. I also did a "draw" (distribution of profits) from my business checking account in the amount of $8,000. My business also paid me $750 for the month's rent of the office space.

This month is also a milestone: my first experience with credit card arbitrage. I did three balance transfers:

  1. $10,500 for $99 fee

  2. $20,200 for $99 fee

  3. $34,800 for $199 fee

That's a total of $65,500 at the small cost of $397. I'll be sticking that into my ING Direct checking account with an APY of 3.2%. I'll still be looking for a higher rate elsewhere.

I still haven't received my balance refund checks from CitiCard yet. (This is related to my credit card arbitrage.) This explains the huge drop in my net worth.
