I have not been motivated to write this post. I would think a year-end wrap-up post would be fun to write, but truthfully, I can’t do all the fun annual calculations I would normally want to do because our expenses were mixed between USD and CAD and I don’t have the patience for it. That… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Dec 2020
These posts are getting embarrassing. I should be excited this month because our net worth actually increased a good amount but we still have a huge chunk of un-invested cash. Truthfully I’m actually pretty nervous to invest having dual citizenship, and want to make sure we’re doing everything legally and in a tax advantaged way… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Nov 2020
I was really putting off writing this post because it just wasn’t that interesting of a month – financially that is. That said, I did start working at the end of the month and even received a partial paycheck but in terms of net worth growth or decline, once again, not much happened. October Net… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Oct 2020
We. Have. Too. Much. Cash. I’ve known this, but as we’re moving more of our $$ out of our US bank accounts and back into Canada it’s becoming more and more apparent and honestly it’s a bit embarrassing. It is an October goal to figure out how to start investing in Questrade. I’m going to… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Sep 2020
What I expected to happen in July, happened in August. Our Net Worth took a bit of a dip this month – though still not too bad considering we had negative cash flow of $4,456. I also actually had some income this month – first time since March! I did some contract work this Summer… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Aug 2020
Something really cool happened in July. I was nervous to check our Net Worth this month because we spent quite a bit of $$ in July, and of course, didn’t have any income. Fortunately, I had a nice surprise. We spent almost $8,000 in July – I know, that’s gross. While we didn’t have any… Continue reading Net Worth – July 2020
When my husband and I moved to California, we only brought his car with us. I sold/donated my car to my brother because we were going to be working together so we figured we’d only need one car between us and it would save us $$$.In hindsight, this was a mistake, as we only ended… Continue reading Get Rid of Your Car Payment
We had a small credit card win the other day! Here’s the backstory – since we recently moved back to Canada from the US, we still have our Chase Sapphire Reserve card. We had about $1,300 worth of cash rewards or $1,900 in travel rewards. As you can see, the rewards are worth 1.5x more… Continue reading Credit Card Rewards Win
I’ve been hesitant to start this net worth series. I plan to update our net worth details at the end of each month. However, I’d of course hope to see our net worth increase every month, and I know that’s not going to happen for us for a few months yet. We’re unemployed and aren’t… Continue reading Net Worth – June 2020
