Chart updated to end of OCT in sidebar.
Stocks/cash increased $5,107 (+1.04%) to $498,825.
Retirement savings (SMSF etc.) increased by $32,525 (+1.42%) to $2,315,735.As I am currently unemployed/retired there are no contributions adding to the balance, so this increase was due entirely to market gains (minus the small monthly decline in the 'guaranteed cashback' value of my QSuper pension accounts due to monthly pension payments).
Est. valuation of our home (my half) increased by $11,141 (+0.91%) to $1,238,551. The estimated value of the 'Other real estate' (my 'lake house' and the investment apartment) increased by $4,469 (+0.21%) to $2,143,170.
Other assets (my online depository bullion account at Perth Mint, and the bullion value of my gold and silver proof coin collection) increased by $4,087 (+5.51%) to $78,280. I am currently still adding $200 worth of gold to my Perth Mint online depository account each month.
Overall, NW increased by $57,329 (+1.10%) to $5,282,273 during Oct. It needs to increase by about 0.2% per month on average to keep pace with inflation (I.e. maintain real value).
I've so far applied for 66 positions and not had any real interest. I suspect I am overqualified for the Junior/Assistant Financial Advisor positions I've applied for, and probably lack the relevant experience required for a salaried financial advisor position. I may also be considered too old (as the list of qualifications and dates on the CV make one's age quite obvious).
The contract AI work I had been offered was cancelled (lack of funds for the project). So I'll do a few of the miscellaneous AI piece-work tasks to earn a bit of 'pocket money'.
I only recorded one youtube videos during October -- I'll try to do at least one a week from now on to see if it slowly gains views and subscribers (or not). (I said the same thing last month).
