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.

Because the Singapore markets came down a little during this month, I used a bunch of my savings to buy about S$10,000 of the Singapore index. Therefore, even with my pay coming in at the end of the month, my cash balances still saw a S$7,919 decrease.

The increase in the US portfolio was due to me buying more shares as well.

Otherwise for this month, it was practically the same as the last.

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