@Money Reasons- Sounds good. I’ll try and remember all the ‘hot spots’ =) Yup- I don’t really spend much on anything else, really. But I imagine that if I were to forgo the traveling, I would probably save about $5000-$6000 more a year. But I’m not willing to do that because it’s my life blood.

Hi Young,

I’ll have to remember to ask you where to stay in Hawaii when we go in a year or two!

I have to say, you amaze me the way that you frugally travel and still you net worth hangs in there and increases!

Very impressive!

@The Passive Income Earner- It is nice to not be in debt =) Yeah, I want to get in on a piece of that land before there’s no more land (hehe, just saw the link you pointed to in the Vancouver Sun- Two Million Reasons why Vancouver Real Estate is so high)

@Echo- Gooood question! I would assume that as long as I have the funds in the RRSP accounts for more than 90 days before I withdraw from them, I can contribute back the following years as long as it’s 1/15th of the amount that I take out. I would think that the gov’t looks at it the same way it would look at a contribution (just keep track of them and tally them up).

@Tiny Potato- Oooh Outlet. I’m there! I don’t think I’ve been to that outlet- is that the premier outlets? I remember there were lots of good shops there. I think we took a bus there last time- didn’t know there was a shuttle. I’ll look into it, thanks! We’re going to go on one of those breakfast buffet sail boats (Makani? I think) it’s included in the Go Oahu card.

@Financial Samurai- Haleiva? I haven’t heard of that place. Is it near Kailua? I’ll be sure to check it out. I’ve checked out the other places that you mentioned. I love north shore and hanauma bay. Thanks for the tips, Sam.

@Financial Samurai- Thanks! My net worth WITH the pension is 117K, but without the pension it’s 99.9K. I didn’t want to include the pension in the first place because it’s not like I’m going to see it anytime soon, but seems like everyone else does it so I went along and started adding it to my net worth.

Yeah, I remember you went to the North Shore in Hawaii the other day. I was just planning the itinerary last night to utilize the Go Oahu card to the max- and am getting more and more excited. Can’t wait for the garlic shrimp. Yum!
