My Networth: May 2009

It’s the end of May. Time to update my networth. My goal is to reach my first million dollar networth in 7 years after university study, which means I have 5 more years to accomplish it since I graduated in April, year 2007.

Like I said in my previous networth report, I want to put aside 20 grands in RRSP savings account so that I can withdraw it towards my first home purchase in the near future. I’m almost there. Just $100 more deposit which I will make in two weeks. Based on my income tax return, the notice of assessment indicates I can contribute up to $21,000 for the Year 2009 RRSP (vs the median national annual RRSP contribution for Year 2007). I’ll reach that maximum contribution room next month, so I have to start thinking where to invest my money after next month. Any suggestion? :|

My networth is still far from million dollar mark, because I had $160,000 education-related debts to pay after graduation two years ago. :( I’m glad I completely eliminated them last month. :) Now I can start building towards my financial growth. :D
