Net Worth Update - March 2024

Today is March 24, 2024. Although passive income through dividends and option premiums is my focus when it comes to investing, I decide to do a post about my current net worth.

What is net worth? Simply put, net worth is calculated by adding up all assets and subtracting the total of all liabilities. Net worth is sometimes referred to as shareholder's equity. Assets and liabilities are part of the balance sheet.

Assets

Savings

The savings section is currently into 3 segments. The 3 parts are a "high" interest savings account, savings account, and an "investment" savings account.

The TFSA savings account was with Tangerine. I was frustrated with getting such a low interest rate with Tangerine. I took the money out and placed it in non-registered high interest rate savings account with EQ Bank. Unfortunately, the account did not disappear as interest was earned in the TFSA with Tangerine for the month I transferred the balance. The balance is $0.18. With a value this low, I do not even earn interest as the balance so low.  

On December 24, 2023, the value of the savings account with EQ Bank is $8964.08 . As of the time of this writing, the interest rate for EQ Bank is currently sitting at 2.50%.  The interest rate is the same as 3 months ago. 

The stock and ETF investment involves one stock and cash  that I hold within my margin account. I keep the dividends and distributions received separate from the dividends I post in my dividend income updates.

Currently, do not own any ETFs in this account since the last update.

I own 55 shares of TransAlta (TA.TO) and cash.

On March 24, 2024 , the current value of this "stock / ETF /cash account" is $2694.33 .  I have earned a total of $505.99 in total dividends/distributions in this account. 

Overall, the savings total is $11658.59 

Non-registered Accounts

The non-registered accounts consist of a margin account and 2 stocks held directly with the transfer agents. The margin account is with Questrade. The total value is $128040.55
 as of March 24, 2024. This is an increase of 6.14% since the last published net worth post.


TFSA Investing Account
