Highlights for March
-All credit card debt (except current month's purchases) is in the form of 0% APR balance transfers earning interest in my savings accounts.
-I hit a milestone this month as my net worth reach 10% of my personal finance goal.
-I continued my indepth look into the 2005 return on my entire net worth (Net Taxable Investment Accounts:-$685, Net Company Ownership Return:-$8,892 ).
-I calculated the cost basis for my rental property and then determined the depreciable amounts of personal property, land improvements and building structures.

$450 in Roth IRA
Since I am still trying to increase my cash on hand (for major purchases in the months ahead), I refrained from additional investing for the month.
