Aloha Investors!
It looks like this is the month for my ETFs to pay out their dividends. If you decide to go the dividend route for your investment you will gain passive income as you sleep. It does take a lot to build up your portfolio, but when you do you really don’t have to do anything. I believe my dividends bring in an extra $2,000 a year to my account since I have dividend reinvestment. I am looking into adding a Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) post to my website for anyone that wants to retire early by saving 70% of their annual income and living under their means.
This paycheck I added more shares of Apple since it did go back down to $192 a share. I am at 858 shares so far with both of my accounts. If I were to buy Apple at $192 a share I would need $27,264 more to hit 1000 shares which is very doable. It just takes discipline and the will to not spend money on things that I don’t need.
This is my last post for 2023! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year! I will see you in 2024 for more investments and gains!
