Hello New Brunswick, and hello money!

I arrived in New Brunswick yesterday. We had a wonderful afternoon at Rivière-du-Loup. If you have never been there, I strongly suggest a visit. The scenery is very beautiful. Just have a look for yourself. I often post pictures of the same spot on my blog, you may recognize:

My old folks picked me up at Rivière-du-Loup, like usual since there's still no bus going to New Brunswick. On the highway, one little idiot passed us at a very high speed. Instead of passing us to the left, he went on the right side, and it was pretty scary. I just don't understand why he didn't pass us on the left side, because he could have done so without any problem. There was massive traffic. We arrived safely home. I think I will be spending the whole month of August in New Brunswick. I drive my mom's car today, as we went to a local beach, but I don't drive enough to be left out in a car by myself on the highway if you see what I mean. It's been a busy weekend.

My investment portfolio closed the month of July on a super high note. It's kind of nice and I welcome this as a breath of fresh air. My non-registered portfolio closed this past Friday's session at $146,924.10, my US portfolio $4,944.15, my RRSP stocks-only portfolio at $65.430.16, and my TFSA portfolio at $124,293.28. I estimate my net worth to be in the $343,000, which means I am only missing $18,000 in order to reach back my highest value of $361,000.

This past Friday, other than good results for my investment portfolio, I also welcomed a paycheck. I am closing the month of July with a bit more than $2,000 at my disposal to do whatever I want with it. For now, that money is still in my saving account, sleeping peacefully.
