My average monthly spending was $486 less than in 2013; $249 less than in 2012; but $218 more than in 2011.

My net worth rose by $25,676. A lot of that was from a rise in the market value of my condo. I likely won't see that kind of rise in my net worth next year.

    I'm impressed that you keep such meticulous records that you can compare everything from year to year! I'm going to try to track everything this year, too.
