Investing for my early retirement: monthly update for October

Another month has passed, how much did I spend and how did the portfolio do?

October expense report

I spent SGD 3,363 in October, not a bad month except that this included SGD 845 spent on stuff.

Saving rate

Saving rate in October was 79% quite good, I find 🙂

Portfolio update

In October my portfolio increased from SGD 566,398 to SGD 574,784 (~USD 421,200). Fresh investments of SGD 13,029 were offset by unrealized losses of SGD 4,643.

Progress to retirement

Investments vs. plan

I invested SGD 13,029 into my portfolio which was much more than planned (SGD 8,800). Main reasons were low expenses and my cash buffer already being full. With this I have exceeded this years’ investment goal of SGD 105,000.
