Goal Revision

 I started documenting our net worth journey 5 years ago for two simple reasons: 1. Doing at least a monthly update would force me to evaluate our progress and keep me accountable. 2. I wanted an archive so that I could look back at the journey.  Originally my goal was an investment portfolio of $1,000,000 and an annual passive income of $40,000. Well like most long term goals I feel that this one needs to be adjusted. We've easily surpassed the goal of a $1,000,000 retirement portfolio net worth. However, we're only half way toward my goal of $40,000 of passive income. The reason for this is that 66% of our retirement portfolio net worth is tied up in our rental houses. Unlike most landlord I'm aggressively paying down the principal on the rentals. Basically, all of the excess cash flow that they generate is being invested back into the properties. I also bought "fixer-uppers" so I've had to invest both my sweat and the rental revenue back into the properties

Retirement Portfolio Net Worth - As of July4 - 2024

  The goal is a retirement portfolio net worth of $1,000,000 and an annual passive income of $40,000. We are currently mortgage free but won’t be including the value of our principal residence or cottage as we have no plans to sell either. We have also omitted the value of our workplace defined benefit pension plans and children’s RESP. June was not a great month for our equity portfolio. However, I've adjusted the value of one of the rental properties based on a recent appraisal. So overall our retirement portfolio is up $47,317 despite a $47,683 drop in the value of our equity portfolio.
