Investment Portfolio Update for November
One more month left of 2025 and I am exactly $121.99 away from my goal of earning $2,000 in dividends from my ETF portfolio! I'm cutting it very fine but firmly believe that I will achieve my goal.

The ETF Dividend Portfolio Hits $30,000
I started the ETF portfolio back in September of 2023 with the goal of sharing how easy it is to get started with stocks. Before starting the ETF portfolio I had only invested in individual stocks but I always intended to eventually get into exchange traded funds.

ETF Dividend Portfolio Update for June 2025
Markets generally moved up and to the right in June and the ETF portfolio is now very close to reaching $30,000. I haven't decided how I will celebrate but I will treat myself as I think it's important to acknowledge our achievements.
