Net worth update – October 2022

A short intro for new readers

If you are not new here, then you can simply skip to the next section.

For those new to my finance journey, this net-worth update is a simple report I publish every month, which tracks the progress of my journey to reach my financial goals.

My ultimate financial goal is to become a self-made millionaire by December 2024 (10 years plan). I have a strong belief that I can achieve this goal by saving and investing in high-quality dividend-paying blue-chip companies. I am also a strong believer of ‘compounding’ power, and I believe if I can push myself now and build a decent net-worth, then the ‘ compounding effect’ will give a heavy lifting in my later part of this journey.

I am posting all my financial information on this website because I love to inspire and motivate people to start their own journey to reach their financial freedom. You could learn from my successes and failures (experience) and improve your financial knowledge.

Along the way, I make financial mistakes and will share my experience here with you. So, you could learn something, avoid those mistakes and save money.

Also, I like to publicly track my progress and get feedback from like-minded people.

May Net-worth Update

My net worth increased by $25 500 or 4.36% in October 2022.

Net-worth change in October 2022

Assets value

My assets value up by $22 900, due to the recent stock purchases and market rebounds.

Liabilities

My debt decreased by $2600.

My debts are very high, but it is manageable. I am not too worried about my total debts now. I moved most of my debts into a fixed-long term mortgage. Therefore, debts related costs and payments are more predictable and easy to handle.

And rising rate won’t negatively affect my debts in the near term.

I have over $200 k available credits from margin loans and a line of credits. I won’t spend them on any unnecessary things.

I will only use my debts for assets purchases. If the market gives me opportunities, I will be happy to scoop up some assets.

Net-worth

Overall, my net worth was up by $25 5000 or 4.36% in October.

Let’s see my net-worth in numbers.

My financial goals, financial situations, and risk tolerances are much different from yours, and blindly copying my ideas may not benefit your life. Please do your research or discuss with qualified financial advisors before making any financial decisions.
