April was spendy. We got our taxes done – which means we paid someone a gazillion dollars to do it for us. Because we worked in both Canada and the US in 2020 there’s just no way we could have figured out ourselves how to file our returns. We had to file 7 returns total… Continue reading Net Worth Update – April 2021
We Bought A House! I actually won’t talk about it again here, as I already talked about it here. But it is my big update for March and very exciting. That said there isn’t an impact to our Net Worth yet as the closing date isn’t until end of May. Though it has actually already… Continue reading Net Worth Update – March 2021
Yet again we did not buy a house. We made two offers in February. One was $28K over asking, the other was $75K over asking. Neither were accepted. Neither were even accepted as the back-up offers. Because of this, our cash balance remains high. That said, we did finally get our Questrade accounts up and… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Feb 2021
A bit more timely posting this one, considering I just posted December’s net worth post a week ago. January was a pretty uneventful month. Except for the fact that we put an offer on a house. However, it was rejected – because this market is stupid. We were one of 7 offers, we offered $10K… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Jan 2021
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 $$ out of our US bank accounts and back into Canada it’s becoming more and more apparent and honestly it’s a bit embarrassing. It is an October goal to figure out how to start investing in Questrade. I’m going to… Continue reading Net Worth Update – Sep 2020
Something really cool happened in July. I was nervous to check our Net Worth this month because we spent quite a bit of $$ 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
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
