This is my sixth net worth updates report for the year 2016. For those new to my finance journey, net worth update is a simple report I post 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 in 10 years by saving and investing in stable dividend paying blue-chip companies.
I am posting all my financial information in this website because I love to inspire and motivate people to start their own journey to reach their financial freedom.
In June 2016, my net worth increased by $3100 or 2.30%, thanks to the positive momentum in the stock markets around the world.
Also, I received three pay cheques from my day job – as you know everybody receive bi-weekly salary gets three pay cheques twice. My next one will be in November 
.
But, June was very expensive month for our family. Second property tax bill and our closed-relative (& friend) wedding expenses cost us more than $4000.
I would have posted bigger gain in June if I didn’t have those expenses.
However, big gained in my investment holdings and dividend payments helped me to record a decent increased in my net worth.
Now, let’s look at my net worth in numbers.
Last month, my net worth increased by $3100 or 2.30% from my last update.
Year-to-day gain is $29 600 (27.33%).
