Nice weekend but too much rain

This weekend had been quite fun even if on Saturday, I present myself to work and I was not on the schedule, only for next Satuday. This Sunday was very long at work. I wonder if we will have wok for the whole month of August. Since I was not working on Saturday, I had been able to clean my missy one and half apartment. I also went shopping. I only have my laundry left.

Me writing stuff on HubPages

I start working on different articles on HubPages. I now have 16 articles on HubPages. My latest is about Lauren Luke, a YouTube icon that recently lauched her own makeup product line. With the help of HubPages, my online income slowly begins to increase. I will probbaly need to write hundred and hundred of articles before being able to make money fromHubPages. At this point, I am not really in for the money, for once in my life lol, but more for the fun of it. I really enjoy HubPages. I like to see the ranking and the amount of visitors I received for each of my articles. I begin by writing around 1000 words article. The latest are shorter. I might ad some content to them later on. For now, HubPages is just about fun.

I need to sign up for my health insurance

Today, after eating a Tim Horton donut, I discover I might have problem with my teeth. I didn’t visit a dentist for quite a time and now I am paying the price. I just hate going to dentist. I am afraid of their tools, but most of all, I am afraid of AIDS and other diseases. Very bizarre of me to think this way, but I cannot help it. My teeth are not hurting otherwise, only when I am eating something with a lot of sugar in it, which doesn’t arrive really often. But I need to take care of this little problem before my teeth really begin to hurt for real.

I didn’t sign up for the health insurance group we have available at my evening job and I had been working there for almost 2 years now. It had been recommended to me to sign up: it may help me to save on taxes. And it will also help me to save on my dentist visit. I really need to register as soon as possible.

Job searching for real

I am really packed for tomorrow with all the things I have to do. I plan to begin job searching after that. I have the chance to have a fix schedule at my evening job, so I told myself I should seek for a day-time job. I could make a lot of money just like before. This time, the job searching deal is for real.

I am now at a fantastic 48 591.98$!!!

And guess what? I am only missing 1 408.02$ to hit the magic 50 000$ in assets! I am turning 29 in August, and the best for me will be to reach 50 000$ just in time for my 29 birthday. Bu it won’t be tragic if doesn’t happen.

When I saw the TSX up to points this last Friday, I couldn’t help it, I absolutely have to calculate the value of my assets. And things are really getting hot in my stock portfolio.

Check it out:

Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)
Initial investment: 4572.71$
Current value: 4 620$
+47.29$

Fortis (FTS)
Initial investment: 2548.36$
Current value: 2 576
+27.64$

Methanex Corporation (MX)
Initial investment: 1626.8
Current value: 1842
+215.20$

Pembina Pipeline Income Fund (PIF.UN)
Initial investment: 1241.7
Current value: 1509
+267.30$

I am slowly beginning to make money from my investment. But forget about Timminco (TIM) and Sprott Inc. (SII).

Timminco (TIM)
Initial investment: 4 065$
Current value: 218$
-3 847$

Sprott Inc. (SII)
Initial investment: 4 925$
Current value: 1 855$
-3 070$

…

I now worth 48 091.64$!

The TSX is now at 10 675.68 points! I was really excited about it. And I was even happier when I read on Yahoo! (Canadian) Welcome Page that the recession was over in Canada.

I calculate the overall value of my investments and… I am now at a fantastic 48 091.64$! If only the TSX could just continue gaining points like this and reach the old 15 000 points, I could easily reach 50 000$ value in investment by doing nothing at all.

Those are good news. But still, the TSX could loose some points again. I don’t think the recession is over yet, things are just getting better. I am looking forward for a gradual progression. I want real and solid gain asset.

Healthy PGF.UN dividend

I had received 53$ in Pengrowth Energy Trust (PGF.UN) dividend. The dividend earning allows me to earn 6 extra units. I now own 636 units of Pengrowth Energy Trust (PGF.UN). And good news, PGF.UN had announces a 10 cents distribution for the month of August. In August, it’s 63.60$ I will earn from PGF.UN alone.

I received my vacation pay from my weekend job. With my next pay check of my evening job that I am expecting next week, I should be all fine to pay my living expenses for the month of August. For month of July, I am making up to 3 000$, but it’s because this month, we have a fantastic 5 weeks month. My upcoming dividend should be of 49.98$ from Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) and 20.07$ from Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN).

I wasn’t able to sell Dumont Nickel (DNI) yet. My order to sell the 23 000 stocks at 4 cents per stock is valid until July 31. I am confident I will be able to sell DNI at 4 cents – but the problem is I don’t know when. I would very need the order to be executed by the end of September. This way, I could pay off my TD Visa credit card debt. I only have left 2 716$ to pay. I would like to clear it all by the end of September. I cannot carry over heavy debt forever.

I am now at 47 154.39$!

And guess what, I am now only missing 2 845.61$ in order to finally reach my first 50 000$! I had been working on this project for about 3 years now and it’s about time I reach my goal! Those are exciting times for me. I am sooo close to my goal!

This week had been crazy. It had been a great week, at the exception that I ruin out of luck for my weekend job as I call too late to say I was available. I really have enough of that job and I am looking forward to get something else. I had been working there for a very long time now and I don’t even get a little of respect and consideration. At least, I am getting my vacation pay for next week. Seem like in life, all my frustrations are coming from my jobs. Can I wait any longer to leave the workplace? NO… lol.

This weekend is going to be the first time I ever had 2 days off in a row for a really long time! Hope it’s going to be a nice weekend. I plan to work on some other HubPages articles to occupy myself and forget about my problems.

I just purchase 100 units of PGF.UN at 8.67$

What a hot deal! 100 units of Pengrowth Energy Trust Income Fund (PGF.UN) at 8.67$ each! And the TSX up to 10 312 points! It would be nice if Pengrowth Energy Trust could get higher in value today. The value of my stock portfolio is now at 21 759.21$!
