The first goal has been achieved ($2,000 in dividends in one calendar year) and now for something ten times more challenging! Actually it's twelve times more challenging to be precise!!

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.

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.

It was another eventful month with shares but things are generally moving up and to the right. The portfolio hit an all time high and the dividends in May 2025 beat the dividends from May 2024, so I can't ask for much more than that. Life is good.
