2015 vs 2016

Just a short post regarding how much I have as compared to 2015.

2015:

Cash: approx $20,000
Stocks: $15,500
CPF: $42,300

Total: $77,800

2016:

Cash: $38,000
Stocks: $21,000
CPF: $68,200

Total: $127,200

Total net worth increased by approx $50,000 which isn't too bad, considering my low-mid 4 figure income. However, discounting the CPF amount, my cash/stock portfolio, which are a lot more liquid and accessible, increased by $24,000, which I think could do with a bit more increases next year. Especially surprising was that my stock portfolio increased only by $5,500. Will be striving to do better in this aspect next year as the stock market still represents the best chances of leading to a semi-retirement asap. 

Dividends from stocks wise, 2016 got me a total of approx $700 in total, which seems little at less than $2 per day. However, I participated in all DRIP schemes available to me, which would have increased the dividend collected to approx $1000. Will be working hard to increase this to at least $1200 in 2017.
