On August 27, I will be TURNING 36, and things are looking good for the Dividend Girl to be sitting on a $160 000 net worth right in time for my 36 birthday. Do you understand the relationship between those 2 numbers?
I spent my Saturday in Ottawa, where I enjoy the Rideau Canal and the fabulous tulips.
It cost me $83 for the bus tickets.

It was my first visit to Ottawa in a couple years and I found that the city had changed a bit. There's construction a bit everywhere. The Shaw Centre is very impressive. Despite its beauty, its nothing much than a conference center. I saw a couple of new condominiums downtown. The Rideau Centre is no longer the same. Sears is no longer there, they had a brand new store to replace it: Nordstrom.
No store is very pretty and appealing, but everything in there is VERY very expensive. I found that generally speaking, there's a lot of expensive stores now at the Rideau Centre. Like Tiffany, Michael Kors, Zara, Tommy Hilfiger. I personally never buy anything at those stores. Rideau Centre is now targeting a high class clientele.
While being at the Rideau Centre, I stop at LCBO liquor store and I bought two bottles: Peller Estates 2014 Vintage Chardonnay and Peller Estates French Cross Rosé, on which I got drunk on last night. I am now a shareholder of Andrew Peller Limited, so this was the occasion to get a taste of what Peller Estates offer. I don't drink that much, but when I began a bottle, I usually finish it on the same day - especially when its rosé. Fortunately, I didn't drink all of that Peller Estates French Cross Rosé I bought, I have some left for another happy time. Peller Rosé is very good. And best thing of all, its a Canadian Rosé! Make me proud Ontario readers and go boost Peller Estates sale at your local LCBO. Let's go baby and make me rich Andrew Peller!
$$$ ;-)
I didn't make extensive search, but I don't think that Peller Estates are available in Quebec province, unfortunately.
I had registered great grow in my portfolio. I am now at $221 514.63. I am getting closer to the $300 000. And when it will happen, sexy net worth will be at $234 812.37. I can only dream, but it wasn't that long ago that I was dreaming of my first $50 000 net worth... May the TSX be on my side and God with me so I can continue to make elegant investment moves and make money like water.
