Is it that time already?

Well hello folks, good to see ya. I’m your host Jonny F, and please enjoy this Net Worth Update here at Late Twenties And Broke.

I know my Bitcoin is up, and my credit card is ALMOST PAID THE FUCK OFF. Just sent them a thousand bucks, got like a thousand left. It’s on it’s last fucking legs. One more paycheck and they’re yelling timber.

But that’s next paycheque. Not today. Let’s take a quick look at how last update was…

PLTR	$1,710.00(200 shares). $2,910. This stinker finally swung back some, up $1200 from last update. Holding this stinker 5ever.
KO	$1,977.81 (31.31 shares) $1,904.11. (31.55 shares) A little swing down but got 20% of a share for free.
DOW	$664.99(11.68 shares).$639.14 (11.84 shares) Same thing, share price went down but got a little DRIP.
VZ	$121.78 (3.1 shares). $107.25 (3.21 shares) Drip.
MO	$1,269.00 (28.19 shares). $1,282.37 (29.34 shares) One of the only stocks that went up this time. Plus a lil drip.
TM	$280.38 (2.04 shares). $340.84 (2.07 shares). Nice little jump to offset the others. And drip of course.
Bitcoin	$8,391.6 (0.27 BTC). $7,213.38 (0.274 BTC). A thousand-dollar “loss” and I couldn’t be happier with it.
BNB coin	$1,113.03 (3.32 BNB). $733.98 (3.356 BNB). Price dipped about $400, but I got some more from staking, so overall a win.
DOGE	$148.07(1601 coins). $102.33(1601 coins) Went down forty bucks. I do not stake this, so no gains there.
Silver Coins&Bars	$2,000 (Haven’t purchased any precious metals in Japan)
Employer 401K	$22,756.61 $25,456.04 Another 2.5 grand in the bank. Consistency is key.
RRSPs trapped in Canada	5,957.87USD 6,673.59 USD. I honestly forgot I had this. It went down a couple updates ago but it’s at its normal price now.
Chequing	$1,198.75. $1,082.76
Savings	$11,742.00 $10,602.09 $8,428.80 I actually have no idea where this money is going. Note*

Total Assets	$50,757 $58,699.02 $59,388.90 Not as big of a jump as I was expected, but a lot of my stocks rolled backwards.
Credit Card	-7,000.18 -5669.99 $-4,977.16. $4,033.64. I shaved another grand off of this, so that’s good. I fucking hate this balance though and want it gone.

Credit Card #3	$0.
Total Debt	$-4,033.64
August 2023 Total:	$45,087 $53,412.39 $55,355.26 A positive change of just under 2 grand in 3 months. That’s a healthy delta in my books.

Alrighty. And without further ado, let’s get into this fricking update baby.

August 2023 Total:	$55,355.26 $60,951.85. Wow. Up another 5 grand, AND, my first entry into the 60K club. This is phenomenal.

Wow, what an update. From the day I arrived in Japan to now, this short year and a half, my net worth is up 16 grand and I’m almost, almost, almost debt free. This place has been a pressure cooker and very challenging. But a lot of my strategies are paying off.

In January, I’ll say goodbye to Japan and do a lot of work-related travel. I’m actually going to live in 4 different countries during 2024. My biggest challenge will be living frugally and not blowing money on takeout. I already know, that will be my biggest challenge. If I can stick to frugal hotel meals like store-bought tuna, instant rice and ham sandwiches, haha, I can hit 70K for sure by the summer. 70K by summer. Let’s go.

Thanks for stopping by,
