Happy August folks! I’m so happy to see this new month unfold. Not that July wasn’t great, because it was. It was full of camping, campfires, barbecues and merriment. I even eased off my freelancing schedule to give me more time with family and that was nice. But I’m looking forward to a slower August with fewer family commitments …
July 1st Net Worth Update!
Remember who excited I was by my massive net worth increases earlier in the year, and how I declared that I wanted to pay off my car loan by the end of the year? Well, I was seriously tempting fate there, because this month has been the month of both unexpected costs and the month of one-time yearly costs. Here …
June 1st Net Worth Update!
I know it’s not June 1st, but these are my numbers as of June 1st! I was on vacation in New York on June 1st, so I’m a little behind the times this month. Remember how last month my net worth improved by a whole 5% and I speculated that the trend would not be continuing? This month proved me …
May 1st Net Worth Update
Happy May everyone! It has been quite a month in this household. There was a lot of spending on backyard projects, but due to when the charges were applied they won’t be reflected until next month’s net worth. I also brought in less freelance income than last month (about 60% on top of my gross income) which meant I was …
April 1st Net Worth Update
Look at me writing a net worth update that is only ten days late. Have I turned a corner? Honestly, the reason things have been so quiet on the blog lately is that I’ve been utterly consumed by side projects. When there is no time left in the day, it’s the blog that gets neglected. I’m not happy about it, …
March 1st Net Worth Update!
Howdy folks! It’s time for another net worth update on the ol’ blog. I’m still deep in winter here in Atlantic Canada, having just weathered yet another storm last night. February was an expensive month heavy with DIY projects (the one above is nearly complete, post coming soon!), but I still managed to put away a decent chunk of cash, …
February 1st Net Worth Update!
Happy February folks! Are you ready for winter to be over already, because I sure am. That $350 oil bill I just received in the mail didn’t help much either. #homeownershipwoes January was an expensive month for me, particularly because of a surprise purchase that I’ll be sharing below. Let’s see if you can spot it in my net worth …
5 Financial Habits that Helped Me Increase My Net Worth by $100,000
Earlier this week I took a look back at my finances over the past five years and discovered that I’d raised my net worth by almost $100,000. I took a look at each year and outlined what I achieved in each of the five years. While I found this exercise useful personally to discover how much progress I’d made over …
How I Improved My Net Worth By Almost $100,000 in 5 Years
I’ve been blogging, tracking, and publically posting my net worth for almost five years. In fact, my very first blog post back in March 2012 was a net worth update. Back then, I had just graduated from university the previous May, I was working my first job and had only made about six payments on my $38,000 in student and …
January 1st Net Worth Update
I feel like this blog post should be titled “Hello, World!”, since it’s the first time, I’ve blogged in what, two months? Admittedly, my blogging break was unscheduled but very, very needed. I’d never taken a blogging break before, and after almost five years of cranking out post after post, I needed to take time for myself and regroup. That …
