Easter and March are done and done. I had the goal of $11,000+ for the ETF portfolio this month and I'm happy to say that I achieved it. Increasing the value of the portfolio by at least $1,000 has been my goal since I started buying ETFs last year and I think I've mostly achieved this so far. Most of the increases are obviously new funds added but the market has also … [Read more...] about ETF Dividend Portfolio Update for March

Money is Choices ETF Portfolio Update
Another month down and the ETF portfolio is up again so all is good. The birds are singing and the weather is sweet, but damn, I have sold two ETFs and bought a new one this month! The initial plan was to never sell any ETF, ever! The beauty of buying a whole index of companies was that I didn't have to think about them. All I had to do was to keep adding to them and watch the … [Read more...] about Money is Choices ETF Portfolio Update

The First $100,000 is the Hardest
Billionaire investor Charlie Munger once said "The first $100,000 is a bitch, but you gotta do it. I don’t care what you have to do.. if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn’t purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000.

Free People Are Better People
I'm sure they're out there but I have never met a free human being that planned for and worked hard to achieve their freedom who sits on the beach or plays computer games all day everyday.
