Investing 102 has done well for me. Not sure I had a "net" worth before this thread.. more like I was in the hole

Using Dave Ramsey's snowball principles, and the stuff discussed here, I now have a significant amount in retirement assets. Not to mention many other 'buckets' of money working for me Good stuff!
