August 2015 - Back to the Workforce Again!

September 10th, 2015 at 06:14 am

Cash & Savings: $72,496 ==> $78,843 (8.75%)
Foreign Currency: $38,985 ==> $38,005 (-2.51%)
US Brokerage: $312,179 ==> $283,141 (-9.30%)
Overseas Brokerage: $250,880 ==> $240,131 (1-4.28%)
Retirement Accounts: $314,389==> $290,443 (-7.62%)
Business Investment: $65,000 ==> $65,000 (0%)
Charitable Account: $10,796 ==> $10,031 (-7.09%)
Total: $1,064,725 ==> $1,005,594 (-5.55%)

So obviously the best news this month is that I'm back to the workforce again, which is much more important than the market turmoil, because the latter is something that happens all the time.

However, I do regret that I didn't sell several stocks 4 months ago when I was just laid off. I've been waiting for those stocks to go higher but of course that never happened. Regardless, the important thing for me now is being patient and ride out the storm.
