Summer Adventures and Financial Milestones: Could My Net Worth Be $430,000 Right Now?

I hope you all are having a nice summer! I just returned from a 10-day vacation at the beach in New Brunswick. Overall, it went well, but the accommodation didn't match what had been advertised, and the wireless wasn't working. This was quite annoying because I had planned to show some movies to my elderly parents when they needed a break from the beach. Unfortunately, the wireless wasn't functional, so their only options during their rest time were listening to the radio and reading. Personally, it didn't bother me much, but it was certainly frustrating for them. I've never had any issues renting accommodation in New Brunswick before, but this year was disappointing. Next year, I'll probably plan a vacation closer to home for them—7 days should be sufficient, and it'll cost a bit less.

When I arrived home, one of the first things I did was check on my investment portfolio. If I evaluated everything correctly, my net worth is now around $430,000. The last time I updated my portfolio was on May 10, 2024, when my net worth was $413,741.80. Achieving a $430k net worth is great—it's my highest ever, which makes me happy, though I would have liked it to be a bit higher. I'm aiming for a $450,000 net worth by my 44th birthday at the end of August. That's the challenge with investing—once success starts, it's never quite enough. I won't update my investment portfolio this evening, but here are my current numbers as of July 19, 2024:

- Non-registered portfolio: $141,896.75

- TFSA portfolio: $147,270.62

- RRSP portfolio (stocks only): $67,927.76

- US portfolio: $5,822.60 USD

Have you noticed that the value of my TFSA portfolio now exceeds my non-registered portfolio? My margin account debt is currently at $6,300. I won't be paying it down by the end of this month because I spent a lot of money before and during my vacation. Right now, I'm just $19 short for July, including my rent for August. I should be able to cover that $19 with dividend money, and if not, I'll deduct it from my margin. I'm sharing this to give you an idea of my current financial situation. I plan to spend significantly less in August and September. By the end of September, I aim to reduce my margin debt to $3,000. This way, I might be able to pay it off by the end of 2024 and start 2025 debt-free. Not a bad plan at all.

As far as I can recall, I've never been debt-free in my adult life. It would be a first for me. After becoming debt-free, I'd like to build up some savings because I simply don't have any right now. I don't recommend anyone adopt the same approach. For years, I've invested every penny I could. I didn't care about having debt or not having savings, though I did accumulate some savings from time to time, only to invest them shortly after... I started investing in stocks shortly before the 2008 stock market crash. For a long time after that, interest rates were low, so I took full advantage by linking a margin to my non-registered portfolio. Things are different now, and I wouldn't advise anyone to invest on margin due to the high interest rates. That's why I've been actively working to pay down my margin debt. It hasn't been easy, but at the same time, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I don't feel the same urge to invest my money these days as I did before.

Recently, it was announced that Park Lawn Corporation (PLC) intends to leave the TSX to become a private business. I'd welcome that, as it could provide a nice amount to help pay down my margin debt.

That's all for now.

Investment Gains vs. Summer Splurges: My Current Financial Landscape

It's a rainy evening in Montreal, so I thought it was a good time to post a little something on my blog—it's been a while. I've been doing quite well, taking long walks or going to the pool most days. So, let's begin!

The TSX closed today's session at 22,229.10 points. My margin debt is currently at $5,364.24. My non-registered portfolio closed today's session at $139,391.06, my US portfolio at $5,718.34 US, my RRSP stocks-only portfolio at $68,139.03, and my TFSA portfolio at $142,974.26. I don't think I will be able to pay down my margin debt much over the next couple of months, as summer is kicking in and I've been spending quite a bit lately. I spent a night at the Hilton Bonaventure Hotel earlier in May, recently got an AC for my studio apartment, and so on. This year, for my summer vacation, I reserved a 10-day accommodation by the sea. It cost me quite a bit, and ever since, I haven't been able to significantly pay down my margin debt due to all these expenses, big and small, that just keep accumulating.

It seems like I always have something going on that requires spending money. Currently, I really want to buy a decent pair of sandals, and I'm in need of a new bathing suit. I also want to buy a cordless vacuum, which I currently don't have. An example of recent spending: just today, I updated my credit card information for my renter's insurance. It cost me $355 for the year. My renewal date is tomorrow, and the money is being deducted in one single payment. It's not a huge amount, but still, it's a couple of hundred dollars. On top of that, I'm slowly running out of groceries and have no milk left. Life without milk is simply not possible for me, so guess who'll be grocery shopping tomorrow? :-)

So far, I've managed to pay my credit card in full every month, but for this month, I've calculated that I'll be short about $1,500. These days, I don't do much overtime and spend more than usual. It's a perfect combination for debt. I plan to borrow the money from my margin, which will momentarily bring my margin debt to around $7,000. I don't really mind because I know I will be able to pay it down starting in August. In the meantime, whenever I receive a dividend payment in my TFSA that is not set on a DRIP, I transfer the money to my margin to pay it down. Overall, my situation is good—I'm just spending more than usual. I'm aware of this and have been watching my expenses more closely for the past few days.

A very easy way to save a small fortune is to eat all your meals at home. Eating out can get quite expensive. You can easily spend $30 on a simple meal that just a few years ago might have cost half that amount. Luckily, in Montreal, you can always find places to get something cheap to eat, but it quickly adds up. Eating out is a bit problematic for me. I try to eat at home before going out and bring snacks with me. I have a huge appetite, so if I don't eat before going out and don't bring snacks, I know I'll be starving and probably stop by a restaurant if I don't eat at home.

Other than these little life problems, my portfolios have been performing quite well. Currently, in my non-registered portfolio, the only stock I have in the red is Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD). TD is facing some serious problems in the US. I will hold onto my TD stocks, but I wouldn't recommend buying any TD stocks at this time. I know I wouldn't.

I probably don't have to say this, and you may know this by now, but I hold many stocks in my portfolio. I am mostly emotionally attached to almost all of them. Recently, one of my precious stocks, Park Lawn Corporation (PLC), announced that the company is looking to leave the TSX. If stockholders approve, we'll get a good amount per share. Currently, I have a gain of +65% with my investment in Park Lawn Corporation (PLC). PLC is a stock that I found on Stockopedia. I haven't used that platform in a while because it was getting a bit expensive for me, but I plan to get back on Stockopedia in a couple of months. I really miss it. I had a fun time using Stockopedia because it gave me tools to find cool stocks that you don't hear about or that are not well-known. When I first invested in Park Lawn Corporation (PLC), I had never heard of it before. It's quite fun to invest in a stock that you feel is a good fit for you but is not well-known. It feels like you have a secret gem.

And speaking of gems, I might have found one while listening to BNN Bloomberg yesterday. Have you ever heard of Propel Holdings Inc. (PRL)? I might invest a small amount in this one.
