That would probably have been the smarter way for me to go, but I am a loud-mouth.  :-)  Seriously though, I am just so proud and happy that I can't keep my mouth shut, lol.

Being "live" for a week, we don't have much to boast about! ;)
We both come from families that didn't/don't have a lot of money.  We think this is why we're so savvy with our finances.  Our families don't know how well we're doing and it never comes up in conversation really so we decided that remaining faceless is best for us.

I meant what I said, it's the smart way to go.  :-)  Let me know when you have updates go up - I love seeing real numbers!

We're doing the same thing but not telling friends and family about our new blog.

When I blog about the money I make blogging, I lump amounts together so I don't disclose each specific contract I make.  For example, I'll be breaking my blog income down by "Sponsored Posts", "Sidebar and In-Content Ads", "Widget Ads", and "Adsense" (adsense doesn't care, lol). 

When I disclose my budget, I also lump similar things into some categories (I'd do that more if I needed to keep a contract amount secret - you could lump all child expenses into one category so that no one will know exactly what you pay for schools).

I am semi-anonymous but a few fellow bloggers and all my family and friends and pretty much anybody who's ever talked to me knows about my blogs.  I'm just as open in "real" life as I am online, so full disclosure has never bothered me.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other specific questions as I reveal pretty much every little financial detail of our lives, so I have experience in this arena, lol.

I want to do a networth post near the end of the year and I'm still thinking about how to do it. I want to share everything, but I'm kind of scare to put it out on the internet eventhough I am semi anonymous. I'm thinking about putting a password on the post and only let people I know, Yakezie members, and commenters in. Is this a good way to do it? 

I think lumping things is a great idea for your problem.

It's all up to you, but if you only want certain people to see it (like Yakezie), why are you interested in doing a net worth update on your blog?  I'm super nosey and would love to see it, so I am totally not complaining, I was just wondering what's your motivation?  I post for everybody to keep me honest and to get more readers, lol.

I want to do a goals and then networth post to show how close I am to my goal of retiring by 40. I'm just leary of putting the info on the internet. Don't you know, there are a lot of weirdoes on the internet.
I'll think about it a bit. Maybe I'll just put it in term of % accomplished.
