Retirement Portfolio Net Worth – As of Nov 1 - 2017

The goal is a retirement portfolio net worth of $1,000,000 and an annual passive income of $40,000.

We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and our childrens RESPs. ASSETS: Oct Contributions: $500 Retirement Portfolio: $484,421 (up $11,991 stock market gains + $500 contribution) Rental Property: $105,000 (lowest estimated selling price) Total Retirement Assets: $589,421 (up $11,991) LIABILITIES: Investment Loan: $32,644 (down $1,490) Rental Property Loan: $77,118 (down $500) Total Liabilities: $109,762 (down $1,990) Retirement Portfolio Net Worth: $479,659 (up $13,981) Dividends Received (year to date): $11,216 (up $940) October was another good month, once again due to stock market gains. I did manage to add a paltry $500 to our investment account this month which is far below what I was aiming
