Personal Finance Writers Net Worth – December 2005
By Jeffrey Strain, January 2nd, 2006 | 7 Comments »
While I have had fun doing this the last few months, this will be the last one of these that I put together. While I enjoy doing it, with the increase in the number of people keeping track of their finances on the Internet it’s getting too time consuming to gather all the data when I have so many other items on my list to do. I’m not sure if anyone else will pick this up, but it seems to be fitting to end it at the end of 2005.
Here is the list in alphabetical order:

Thanks so much for putting this together these past few months. It has been fun seeing where I stand against the fellow PF blogger.
As for maintaining this listing in the future, I would be happy to do that. I already have this list plus another dozen that have sent me their data to be placed on the bar chart. BTW – The bar chart will be posted to my blog in a couple days once a few more bloggers have submitted their numbers.

Just to clarify, 20k of my increase was due to an annual adjustment of my home value. Thanks for putting it together!
Thanks. This is a great list!
Thanks again for this months numbers. It’d be great to see a link of all the net worths from the past few months…maybe in your pull down menu.
Thanks for pulling this together, this month and in the past!
Since I am more of a visual person, I entered the net worth percent changes for the past four months (when available) of personal finance bloggers and created the following graph:
