Q3 25 update
Q3 2025 Update — $499,700 🎯
Three quarters into 2025, the journey continues — and we’ve crossed another quiet but meaningful milestone. My net worth now stands at $499,700, up from $417,350, marking an $82,350 gain this quarter and bringing me just shy of the halfway point to my long-term goal.
This quarter felt different. The PhD is behind me, the flat is settled, and the portfolio has largely found its rhythm. After a year of heavy lifting — buying property, changing jobs, and rebalancing investments — most of the hard work is done. From here, it’s mainly about managing what’s been built and letting compounding run its course.
📈 Portfolio and Markets
Large-cap tech continued to carry the portfolio, with Google extending their rebound. The smaller, higher-beta names were mixed, but the broader trend remains positive.
🧾 Financial Snapshot (as of Q3 2025):
💼 Net worth: $499,700 (+$82,350 QoQ)
💰 Portfolio: Solid performance, led by Google
🏠 Real estate: Stable valuation
💷 FX: Slightly negative impact this quarter
🔭 Looking Ahead: Administer and Advance
With the structure in place, the next phase is simpler: keep investing, keep working, and avoid mistakes. The foundation’s there — now it’s about quiet consistency until the finish line.
Onward.
