I've turned 23

This week I've turned 23. It was a great day spent with my family. This is a nice time to look back at some things I've achieved over the last year.

Life is really about incremental improvements, going to bed every day a little wiser, a little richer, a little more closer towards you goals. I can proudly say that I'm exponential wiser now that one year ago when I turned 22.

I'm still light years away from my goals, but I'm getting there, step by step, dollar by dollar, book by book.
I didn't realize though that I made quite some progress in the last few years. I'm sitting on a blue chip portfolio that just crossed the $37.000 mark, pumping out dividends. I have no debts and each day I learn new things about investing, finance and accounting, the field I love.

Thank you everyone for reading, and good luck with your milestones!

I'm such a cliche right now

If you would walk into the door right now, you would burst into laughter at the absurdity. Here its 3 a.m. I'm sitting at my desk, reviewing the annual report of the Royal Canadian Bank  and Royal Dutch Shell, thinking about investments, about compounding my wealth, going over my own personal income numbers, drinking single malt scotch, all this while listening to Johan Sebastian Bach at full blast.
