Dividend Update August 2019

Whats up fellas, welcome back to the blog =) i just want to say right off the bat that i appreciate all the support and the growing number of followers on my Facebook page. I nickname it the "behind the scenes" Facebook page, you guys get to see everything. So for the month of August........im pushing this DGI portfolio HARD, whenever i have visions or wake up from a dream of what the future holds for me i kick it into high gear. Ive also made some changes for what i had planned for the left over Roth IRA contributions. Ive hit another milestone of $30,000+, so that means ive surpassed 2 milestones in less then a year in 2019. (previous milestone was $20,000+) So with out further or due lets go over the dividend income.

Roth IRA

Total: $70.33

Taxable Account

Total: $23.17

Grand Total: $93.50

YoY: 52.57%

New Contribution Record: $1,500

New Payday Record: $52.74 (8/1/19)

Purchase: 4 shares of KMB, 5 shares of VWOB

2 shares of JNJ, & 2 shares of CLX

$1,500? I can remember back when i watched Dave Ramsey for the first time talking about how a $100 a month from age 25 to 65 invested will make you a millionaire. While im here at 24 years of age pushing this as hard as i can while im still in my youth. DGI is turning into a real life video game for me, when your this far ahead of the curve its to the point to where you can let off the gas some and hit $2.5 million at retirement or go full throttle non-stop and go for $10 million. My personal goal is to hit $100,000 before 30, that means ill be walking around still in my 20s managing a 6 figure portfolio. I say to myself, i cant believe im talking about these numbers in my 20s.   

 Alright guys so i have only $2,000 left over on my Roth IRA contribution limit, ive decided to postpone my plans with scaling up CLX, JNJ, & MCD to 4 figures in value. I will accomplish that on the 2020 contributions, as for the left over $2,000 im just going to wrap it up with one of my good old monthly dividend REIT LTC. Other than AMT I haven't messed with any REITS all year, once i get LTC set up to buy 1 "free" share a year, ill contribute the left over to VWOB and call it a day. Then its back over to my Taxable account, continuing to go full throttle. All 4 of my holdings already accumulated almost half a share of interest. We only have one more month until the 3rd quarter comes to a close, 2019 has to be the craziest year so far in my investing career.   

From $18,202.28 to $30,500+

Brutal Determination

(as soon as Anakin does that back flip is when January 1st hit)

I want to hit $100K by 30 just as bad as Anakin wants to take down Obi-wan in this video. From the chocking, kicking, and the punching describes how bad i want to be successful. As soon as January 1st hit, i went non-stop full throttle hitting 2 milestones back to back ($20K & $30K). At one point i worked 5 14 hour days back to back. Ask your self this question, how bad do you want your future self to be wealthy? Lets see how much harder i can push this portfolio by Dec. 31st. 

Message to all investors, continue to stay motivated and push your wealth to the next level. As for my retirees reading this......just sit back and enjoy the show =D I have soo much fun expressing my enthusiasm/determination with DGI investing on this blog and Facebook page. I appreciate everyone taking the time to follow my crazy journey. Hope you all enjoyed this cool update, keep on stacking that sweet dividend money and ill see you guys next time =D    

Dividend Update July 2019

Whats up guys welcome back to the Dividend Mascot blog :) hope you all had a great July. This month was great started off in the $90s for the start of of the 3rd quarter. Continue to push my Roth IRA contributions as hard as i can. This update is going to be short and sweet so scroll down so we can go over the dividend income ;D

Roth IRA

Total: $70.80

Taxable Account

Total: $24.07

Grand Total: $94.87 (good start for 3rd quarter)

YoY: 92.47%

Purchases: 7 shares of KMB

Hopefully this year i can get the Taxable account up to $30- $35 a month by the end of the year, if i max out my Roth IRA fast enough. So far with my Roth IRA plans my PEP holding is now worth 4 figures. One down 3 more to go so MCD, CLX, & JNJ are next to push to 4 figures, giving a well rounded weighting between my higher yielding stocks with some dividend growth and my lower yield stocks with "strong" dividend growth. While keeping a 10% - 15% weight in my bond ETFs all at the same time :) #portfolio management 

Going to keep this one short for you guys, pretty much all the updates for the month so i hope you guys enjoyed my little update, keep on stacking that sweet dividend money and ill see you guys next time ;)

Dividend Update June 2019

Happy Fourth July Everybody!!!! As im putting this update together i can hear fireworks going off :)
Whats up fellas, welcome back to the Dividend Mascot blog. As you can see by the the chart above i have hit a new monthly record. This month was the final chapter for the taxable account, all 4 holdings (VCLT) (VZ) (PM) & (RDS-B) are all 4 figures in value which reached my personal quota for the account. Less holdings + heavy weighted holdings = faster compounding overall, the purpose of this account is too provide a cushion of additional income for my 40 year old self 16 years from now. At 40 i will still work and grow both my accounts, this is "semi-retired". The Roth IRA is set for when im 60 which then ill be "fully retired", i call this "The layered retirement plan" for me i have 2 stages. Just wanted to re-visit my plans between the 2 account's as i transition back over to the Roth IRA to max out the left over $4,300 out of $6,000 in yearly contributions. So lets go over the dividend income ;)

Roth IRA

Total:$74.46

Taxable Account

Total: $22.65

Grand Total: $97.11 (pops a bottle of champagne)

YoY: 87.72%

Purchases: 4 shares of PM, 8 shares of VZ, & 6 shares of VCLT

The Quarterly performance for Q2 of 2019 is $263.45, surpassing the goal of $250+. My goal for Q3 is $300+ in dividends. Taxable account also hit a new record surpassing $20+, growing faster than i thought. If you been a follower for a while, you know that i LOVE these boring monthly bond etf's (VCLT & VWOB) that you could set up to spit out a fat dividend every month. VCLT is now one of my biggest holdings, it just boring and brings in monthly cash flow compounding on a monthly basis. I rarely talk about these holdings on this blog, need to show them some more love lol.

As i move over to the Roth IRA my target stocks are (PEP), (CLX), (MCD), & (JNJ) to scale up to 4 figures in value. Strictly targeting my under weighted holdings for the rest of 2019. Im 1,000% determined that i will max out my Roth IRA in no time. Pushing these accounts as hard as i can while im still young. 

Infinite Determination like Goku :)

love how he said thats only half his strength, directly correlates with
im only halfway through the year ;)

I almost hit $100 this month so im all fired up for the last 6 months of this year guys. Hope you all enjoyed the blog, keep on stacking that sweet dividend money and ill see you guys next time ;) 

Dividend Update May 2019

 Whats up guys, welcome back to another dividend blog update. Hope you all had a successful month, we are only 1 month away from finishing Q2 of 2019, and i can already tell that i will accomplish my Q2 goal of $250+ in dividends. I got some more great news, my projected annual dividends has surpassed $1,000/year. This projection is not 100% accurate, on my google drive excel sheets i purposely have all my shares "flat". As in if i have 50.5 shares of a stock, ill will leave it at 50.0 until the interest accumulates a full share. Doing this forces me to work harder than usual, resulting in my dividend income growing like crazy. So i was already at $1,000/year and didn't even realized it, pretty cool huh. Its my way of keeping my determination on full throttle. Below here's a snap shot of the dividend meter on "flat" shares. The next projected goal will be $2,000/year in dividends. 

Roth IRA

Total: $66.25

Hope you guys enjoyed the update, im planning on pushing this even harder for the 2nd half of the 2019. Soon ill be working on maxing out my Roth IRA contribution's. Lets see if im able to double my yearly dividend income 3 years in a row back to back. Keep stacking that sweet dividend money, and ill see you guys next time ;)

My updates have been short and sweet because i do the exact same thing every month. Accumulate more shares of my current holdings to make them dividend payments FAT so they can compound like crazy. Starting to see the Taxable account chugging along, already hitting near $15 for the month. Once im done working on the taxable account, i will return to the Roth IRA ;)
