Progress Report
NetworthIQ is going strong after 4 days. We’ve been blogged by some of the major personal finance bloggers, including Free Money Finance today. If you hadn’t seen it yet, the Wall Street Journal ran an article (or here) this past weekend about personal finance blogs, and featured Free Money Finance, Consumerism Commentary, PF Blog and MyMoneyBlog. All of which have contributed to NetworthIQ’s development in one way or another.
The site is up to 66 users with a surprisingly high ratio of public profiles. Expect some updates over the next couple of days to make it easier to explore those public profiles.
I’ve been hitting a lot of different places trying to promote the site, and still have a few more to go. If anybody has suggestions about a blog, group, site, etc. that may be interested in NetworthIQ, leave a comment and let us know.
Every once in a while I’ll feature a profile that looks interesting. Sixpack has net worth information going all the way back to the beginning of 2003. That’s so cool, and with a very positiive looking chart as well.

Great site, I look forward to seeing the comparison data once that is set up!

Thanks for featuring my profile! Yeah, I’ve had ups and downs, but with discipline, the general trend is up!
I can’t wait to see other demographics with users. For example, most everyone has real estate as an asset. I’m really curious as to the percentage of profiles that have it listed as an asset.

Jim - Thanks for the post and signing up. I hope you can utilize our site in some way for your tracking. BTW, I love the name of your blog. Along with Flexo, I think you guys should get some award for creative finance blog names.
Madame X - Thanks! Now that we have a pretty good user base, we’re going to work hard to get those comparisons done.
Sixpack - You bet. looks like you’re definitely on the right track. Running a quick check for June entries, it looks like about 70% of users have Real Estate listed.
