Hi! Welcome back to another month-end net worth update.

 

A few things to note before we delve into the net worth update:

 

  • I’m from Singapore. Therefore, I will be tracking my net worth in Singapore Dollars. In short, “S$”.
  • However, for the benefit of readers who are more familiar with the currency of US Dollars, I’ve also included a simple conversion from S$ to US$ at certain parts of my net worth update.
  • At the time of writing this post, the exchange rate of Singapore Dollars to US Dollars is S$1 to US$0.74. Conversely, US$1 is equal to S$1.35.

 

Let’s start off with an overview of my entire net worth.

 

 

 

This month, I received a one-month bonus from my company, resulting in the unusually high increase in cash. (Yay for year-end bonuses!)

As usual, I haven’t been investing in the sluggish Singapore market. But I have continued to invest slightly over a thousand Singapore dollars into the US market every month.

My retirement accounts have seen an unusually high increase as well. Usually, my increase would be S$1,348 every month. However, this month, I received my yearly interest of about S$1.3K from the government.

Altogether, I feel it’s been a strong month for an increase in net worth.

If you’re looking for more details of my net worth, here they are. 🙂
