Hello Friends and welcome back to another Liquid Net Worth and Passive Income update via my Personal Finance Canada blog! I hope you are enjoying my monthly reports since February 2021.
May was another great month for making extra income from dividends and hustling around despite the markets crash. Please note that all the numbers were recorded on May 31.
Passive income number is the golden number to always pay attention to!
Extra Side Hustle Income Report $875
Frankly, counting the side hustle isn’t an easy job. I made a spreadsheet and record my income through this source but it is a hectic task with money coming from so many resources.

Current Investment Portfolio & an Awful -8.62% MoM Liquid Net Worth Decline
My liquid net worth decreased by $36,736 in May 2022. I realize this is an awful decline which is just getting worse. However, we shouldn’t forget the big picture. Investments comes with its cycles. As an investor, I am happy to use the decline in the market to accumulate more funds.
The current market conditions help me to get discounted stocks and ETFs I’d love to hold for a very long time. Time in the market along dollar-cost averaging is an investor’s best tools.
