Just updated mine this morning. The last two months have been rough. I like

advice given earlier to not worry about it day to day...especially during downturns like we've seen at the end of 2018.

Here's the data I compiled so far.

My Quicken calculates my NW real time. Use and it's available 24/7.

Mint does mine. I know it on a daily basis if I want to

Mint can't work for me, but even if it could, I wouldn't use it or anything like

I have investments that aren't online. I track those manually in mint.

Baron

1/1/19 8:43am

I would never use mint or anything like it.

Acorn

It is much less manual than your process. But I get that some won't like it

Baron

Not about like or dislike. I would never use mint or anything like it.

Look I never said your method is dumb. There are lots of methods to use. You don't like mint so be it. Not sure why you

I do this on a monthly basis & Personal Capital allows me to do it in 5 minutes.

I think you just told me you have a high net worth?

Acorn

1/1/19 9:29am

Its been 2.5 years and no problems (thus far).

Is the benefit worth giving up your privacy and facing the risk?

Acorn

1/1/19 9:08am

Yes. You have no privacy anyway

CDV

Agreed. If you do online banking Mint, etc. is exactly the same thing

mcnasty

Not True. Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, your bank

Are there examples of financial institutions misusing personal data on a broad scale?

Does Wells Fargo count?

I am impressed. That is a lot of effort.

Acorn

Thanks! I did then we sold a house at a loss, we lost 4 years of gains

Even though I have Mint I just went and did this exercise.

CrimWalCoug

1/1/19 9:30am

I started doing that exact thing 4.5 years ago...

Nice work. Couldn't say it any better than that.

Acorn

1/1/19 9:59am

Much agreed. I get into this on bogleheads every year. I've only been tracking

Ash

What do you list in these categories?

jcase16byu

Yes. You can summarize or list every account if you want
