Such a busy time – never have I been so late with the updates of the blog. It is a good sign – my own business and schedule keep me busy and I do not need to compulsively focus on my Excel sheets for my entertainment. Did I meet my goals in August?
In August I spent some days in Ireland – really fun! I especially enjoyed all the unhealthy beers and goodies – I admit!
File gone ☹
I managed to lose my Excel file with all my charts and data. Only had a six-month-old backup. Now I migrated everything to Google sheets, but the charts are not as good. Google Sheets is quite limited in this regard. On the other hand being able to access the file from multiple devices is great.
Portfolio update
In August my portfolio increased by SGD 5,265 or 1.7% to SGD 319,971 (USD 232,841). Fresh investments of SGD 6,023 and decline of SGD 758 contributed.
Investments vs. plan
I invested SGD 6,023 into my portfolio which was less than planned (SGD 6,300).
Fortunately, I am still ahead of the plan, thanks to a good performance in previous months.
Dividends received
SGD 156 – August is never a big dividend month.
Outlook
September is already over – I will try and quickly post the September update to make up for the lost time.
Hi Singvestor,
I’m definitely inspired reading your blog. I’ve been working on figuring out how to solve the dilemma of the less-than-stellar charts on Google Sheets and have found a solution in Google Data Studio. You might want to check that out as it natively connects with Google Sheets as a data source and can help you produce dynamic dashboards. There’s a bit of a learning curve but nothing a bit of googling won’t help solve. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring others along the way. I wish you all the best as the year ends and in the coming year.
Cheers,
Kunal
