Two things happened in June that have been rare occurrences lately: I'm posting on time-ish and I sold out of an ETF. I was starting to make a habit of posting late and now I intend to get back to posting on time, within the first week of each month. And the sale was the very high yield paying FANG covered call ETF FEPI. The 25% dividend yield was really nice but my … [Read more...] about ETF Dividend Portfolio Update for June

May ETF Portfolio Update 2026
I've made it a habit to post late for four months now, so I plan to do something about that! I'm really good at creating habits or falling into a rut and staying there because it's comfortable or known. The upside of seeing the value of habits and being able to create and commit to them is that you can ensure that they're good habits. It takes just as much time and … [Read more...] about May ETF Portfolio Update 2026
ETF Portfolio Update for April 2026
Well I'm late posting again, but better late than never! This month I finally broke the $35,000 mark for the ETF portfolio! I've been hovering between $33,000 and $35,000 since September in 2025, that's about 8 months! I've continually added roughly $800 to the portfolio each month and I just haven't been able to reach $36,000. It has been super frustrating but I knew it … [Read more...] about ETF Portfolio Update for April 2026

$2,000+ in Dividends for the Year! Goal 1 Achieved
Well, that is 2025 done and dusted. I hope your year was a good one and may next year be a better one.

It's the dividend goals that I get most excited about as they're the things that bring me true happiness as they … [Read more...] about ETF Stock Portfolio Update for October

This is the latest I have posted my monthly update and I'm not even going to come up with a list of excuses for it, I'm just going to push forward and make sure that I don't make a habit of it. The portfolio is performing well, increasing each month like clockwork, and the dividends are improving every month but to be honest I have been a bit frustrated with the progress. … [Read more...] about ETF Portfolio Update for September
