$125 318 and a few pennies

Look at the lovely summer dress I just bought! Very pretty, don’t you think so? I am leaving very soon for Montreal. I am pretty much all set. And best of all, I am going back in my old apartment where I used to live when I left Montreal in September 2011. My accommodation problem is resolved. I am staying in a University residence for 12 days in X University somewhere located in Montreal lol.;0)

I took the cheapest accommodation I could find and in result, I am leaving exactly 2 days before beginning my job. I would had liked to go earlier but at $34 per night (it’s cheap, I know, but I am really on a budget), I decided to do a last minute thing. I will have at least a day to do my nails and visit Montreal. What I plan to do is to take a part-time summer job so I can save more cash for once I will be back under unemployment. 

It’s a chance to have those credit cards. I had paid around $400 for my temporary stay at the student residence and I had to pay $300 in front as a security deposit to get my old apartment back. Does it worth it, to go to Montreal just for a temporary position? Well, it worth it in my case. It’s not like I have many years of experience and I prefer to take whatever present to me, especially while it’s something related to my field and especially knowing the workplace conditions. It will also give a good work reference if it goes well because let forget about my late employer ok, I am suing them in court. I know what you are thinking and please, just stop thinking. It’s about my extraordinary life here so calm down. 

I know Montreal quite well so it’s not like I am moving to a place I don’t know. I am getting a 16 week for sure of labor, enough to make my unemployment for next year I guess but I don’t know for sure how it work. But what I know for sure is that my investment portfolio is performing very well. The TSX is under the 12k points, but my non-registered portfolio is at a very good $125 318.13. Yesterday, I closed the session at 124k+. I have more than $14 000 left on my margin. Very soon, a 2k will go to cover my new investment in the JFT Strategies Fund. I already injected in cash a 1k in my margin. I need to add on another 1k by May 18. I really need to have a around a 15k value left in cash in my margin. The best will be to have a 20k left to keep it safer, especially in those very hard market conditions. I kind of having no choice than to seek for part-time work when I hit back Montreal or I will have to limit my purchases.
