Net Worth Update - December 27 2025

 Today is December 27, 2025. 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, novice 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 June 28th, 2025, the value of the savings account with EQ Bank is $12967.24 . As of the time of this writing, the interest rate for EQ Bank is currently sitting at 1.00%.  There has been no change in the interest rate since the last update.

I opened an notice savings account (30 day) in November 2024.  Currently, the value of the account is $3530.81.  The interest rate currently is 2.75%.  There is no change in the interest rate since the last update. When a withdrawal is requested, it takes 30 days for the withdrawal to complete.  During the 30 days, the interest continues to accumulate. 

The interest rate on for this 30-day notice account does not get reduced as much as a regular high interest savings account. But, during the last week or so, the interest rate on this account was reduced by 0.25%, or 25bps.

The stock and ETF investment involves one ETF 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, I do not own any stocks in this account.

I own 90 units of the Bank of Montreal Canadian Dividend ETF (ZDV.TO)  and cash.  I made a purchases resulting in 12 more units since the last update.

I own 100 shares of TransAlta (TA.TO) due to a put option being assigned on December 19 2025 at $18.50 per share.

I have $1190.55 in cash inside the account.

On December 27 2025 , the current value of this "stock / ETF /cash account" is $5426.97 .  I have earned a total of $619.12 in total dividends/distributions in this account. Also, I have earned a total of $164.17 in option premiums in this account. 

Overall, the savings total is $21925.20 .

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 market value is $169316.45 as of December 27, 2025. This is an increase of 1.367% since the last published net worth post.

The TFSA investing account balance is $170226.76 as of December 27, 2025. This account is with Questrade. This is an increase of 10.09% since the last published net worth post.
