Talk about dividend investing and FIRE

No surprise, but I'm a big nerd.
Massive news for my portfolio!

$NEE raised their dividend 10% which now means my dividend I receive from them is now roughly $75 per quarter!

Here's your report on what MAGAts are complaining about on Twitter so you don't have to look...

Trump announcing that AI will be used to create customized mRNA vaccines to cure cancer.

No I'm not making this up.

End of the first full week of 2025 and reinvested these dividends already:

$MO: $168.83
$VICI: $114.09

Not a shabby way to start the year!

End of year summary for my dividend portfolio and amount of dividends I've collected:

2020: $104.14
2021: $1,200.92
2022: $2,390.12
2023: $3,809.56
2024: $5,832.90

The dividends are scaling up nicely and growing it slowly is going to really pay off in the long run! The goal is to hit $8k in 2025!

Travis Hunter, the Heisman winner, only had 4 catches and a TD and carried his team straight to a beat down in a bowl game.

What a clown show

Dividend investing doesn't require you to sell shares in order to live off your investments.

This is exactly why I focus on Dividend Growth, not share price growth

The fact that we get to watch Penn St. and SMU duke it out this weekend just for the opportunity to play us just makes me so happy even if Jeanty got robbed.
December 16, 2024 at 5:25 PM
The Heisman is now just a popularity contest. What an absolute joke...

Locked into the College Football Playoff! Go Broncos!

It's that time of the year where I'm relieved that my spotify wrapped accurately represents what I actually listen to lol

Ashton Jeanty should win the Heisman no doubt. He has 2x the yards and 2x the touchdowns Travis Hunter has. He is the #1 RB in the country and it's not close. Travis Hunter isn't even a top 20 WR or DB this year.

Monday after a long break and my dividends hit my account from $PFE, $V, and $KR!

It came out to just over $157 all being reinvested. If you haven't started invested yet, make it your goal to start before the end of the year!

The biggest life hack is a lower mortgage payment.

The problem is that housing is so expensive now that if you didn't get in at the right time, you're pretty much screwed for the foreseeable future. The housing shortage isn't going to get better anytime soon unfortunately thanks to maga...

Just cooked our Thanksgiving dinner before going to family stuff tomorrow. Veggie Risotto, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Bean Casserole goes hard. We just don't have the patience for turkey

2/3 of the wealth of all the United States is owned by the top 10% of the population.

This means that 90% of our population owns only 1/3 of all wealth in this country.

Trump is only going to widen the wealth gap and make life harder for 90% of Americans...

Just over $65 in dividends from $QQQI today! It's not a large position in my portfolio, but it's a solid monthly dividend for my portfolio
November 21, 2024 at 7:32 PM
Boise State is projected to have a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Let's go!
November 20, 2024 at 12:25 AM
Every Monday I add to my positions.

This week I added 1 share of $JNJ and 3 shares of $LYB.

Even if you can't invest a lot, you should at least make it a habit to put something away every week because you'll kick yourself later if you don't!

I love seeing more and more people on Twitter wake up and move here. They can keep the right wing loonies

Big dividends rolled into the account today!

$ABBV - $74.20
$MAIN - $35.50
$O - $34.08

Who else got their dividends from these 3 companies today?

For all you out there scared to have kids, you're not alone!

My wife and I have chosen to be DINKS(Dual Income No Kids), and while it's not for everyone, it's ok to not want kids with the risks going on with our country.

I will say... with how volatile the markets are since the election, it's hard to determine which companies to buy every week. But no matter what you invest in, if you're consistent and patient, it'll work out in the long run!
November 13, 2024 at 5:03 AM
$TXN dividend came in today! $51.28 hit the account and got reinvested. Easy money and that amount will keep growing every quarter!
November 12, 2024 at 4:07 PM
$ABBV down big today and I can't buy to take advantage of the drop...

Spent a good chunk of the day successfully convincing my brother to increase his investing habits.

Yes, I went full nerd on him and it worked
