As of July 31, 2010. "Retirement" = all registered investments. "Stocks" = all non-registered investments (Canadian/US/International Index Funds). "Other Assets" = TFSA account (Considered an "emergency fund" which holds only fixed-income assets).
Only a small gain this month as the only money coming in was the remnants of finishing my residency, but the numbers will jump dramatically as income from a "real job" flows in over the course of the next month. It's like income "shock" going from a resident's salary to the salary of an attending physician. There were a lot of associated expenses in terms of getting everything sorted out with provincial licensing and what not but all of that is tax-deductable anyways.
Seems as though the markets have continued to bumble along - at least my investment portfolios are not losing value despite regular contributions! I remain pleased that everything has been automated nicely and I will have to ponder what to do with all of the extra cash that will soon be piling up. There are worse problems to have, I guess.
Back on track with a small gain; had to pay the lump-sum property tax at the end of the month which took out a significant chunk, and stocks have been lousy again this month as the roller coaster continues. Will be starting work soon in mid-July and then steady income stream will be present which should lead to some nice increases in the net worth and pretty easy attainment of the $470,000 net worth goal by the end of the year. |
