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.

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!
@Carly, the jump from $200k in Dec 2006 to 224k in Jan is due to accounting changes. During that time, I added our defined benefit pension (contribution amount) to the net worth.
Just started reading, how did your cash, savings, and investments- not including your home jump from 98k in Dec 06′ to 121k in Jan 07′ to 131k in Feb. 07 on a combined income of 105k, which is 8750K monthly?
Wow. Great job and very impressive! Especially in this market!
[…] Last month, I reported a net worth of $231,500, so this months $235,130 represents an increase of 1.57% month over month and 9.6% year to date. […]
FF7: For me, I simply call my real estate agent to give me the most recent prices in the neighborhood.
How do you calculate the value of your real estate holdings?
