February 2007 Net Worth Update (+3.35%)

How time flies, it’s time again for a monthly net worth update – The February 2007 edition. No big changes this month, only that we finally got off our butts and used some of our savings to pay off the car loan of ours. Yes, I know, we should have paid that off a LONG time ago. We will be taking extra income from the $480/month car payment and spending it. Just kidding! The extra monthly income will first go towards my RRSP, then to our non-registered portfolio once my RRSP is maxed out.

I received a comment on my last net worth statement that I shouldn’t include the vehicles in my statement. I realize that cars depreciate and aren’t liquid, but my real estate holdings aren’t liquid either. So, I’m going to keep them in my net worth statement according to the low end value according to the Canadian Black Book.

Assets

Cash: $4,500

Savings: $24,897

Registered Investment Accounts: $39,700

Pension: $16,300

Non-Registered Investment Account: $45,900

Real Estate: $ 266,500 (2 properties)

Vehicles: $17,525 (2 vehicles)

Total Assets: ~$415,322

Liabilities

Mortgage Debt: $175,800

Other Liabilities: $8,000

Total Liabilities: $183,800

Total Net Worth: ~$231,500

This month we’re up about 3.35% from the January 2007 net worth of $224,000. Not quite as high as the 4.43% increase last month, but progress none the less.

That’s all for now folks, happy investing!

  1. How do you calculate the value of your real estate holdings?

  2. FF7: For me, I simply call my real estate agent to give me the most recent prices in the neighborhood.
