My cash balances total $ 52 725 & expenditures for 25/4/2010 - 29/4/2010

After crossing the 50 K threshold this month, I'm now targetting the 55 K barrier.

(25/4/2010) : $24.90

(26/4/2010) : $18(buying Euro, HK and Thai coins from a couple of travellers I hosted)

(27/4/2010) : $0

(28/4/2010) : $0

(29/4/2010) : $1.50

I got lazy keeping track of expenditures in late March and have lost track of those figures so I'll lump them up and give an estimate of about $200 to them.

(20/3/2010-24/4/2010) : $200


My foreign currency deposits and forex cash on hand have declined in value due to the strength of the local currency, to the equivalent of about $79 700.

So my real liquid cash at hand totals over $ 132 000.

My cash totals forge past $51 000...

With today's deposit of seven hundred and redemption of 1-month term deposit from March, the total cash I have sitting in the bank is almost $51 100.

This constitutes a rise in total monies of 169% from the total as at Jan '09.

The 50k threshold beckons....

Today, as a cheque from a pupil cleared, my savings + fixed deposit balance totals about $ 39 002 , while my current account contains a smaller sum of $ 10 872.

This makes the total just over $100 short of the big $50 000 mark, the attainment of which will be a matter of pride for me.
