I started to put the spreadsheet together today. My net worth was a little higher than I anticipated. I’m trying to go back as far as I can; as far as my online records will allow me to go. I’d really love to see the growth over the last five or six years. Thanks for the idea.

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

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 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

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

Not True. Vanguard, Schwab, Fidelity, your bank

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

I am impressed. That is a lot of effort.

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
