I just came back from Florida, helping my mom moving into her new condo, she just purchased. We were too busy packing and moving but of course we still had a chance for a nice walk on the beach.As I mentioned before I was saving cash to help my mom with a purchase of her condo, but I still was able to purchase 30 shares of BNS in August.

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts and progress.
Love seeing that dividend income roll in especially when I see some common names for the month. Though similar to your 2014 totals just keep buying quality names and you'll really see your year over year grow fast.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice words DivHut! This year is slow for me but dividends keeps reinvesting on their own, which is always nice! Best wishes to you too!
DeleteHey HHWG,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update.
How's your daughters portfolio doing? Suffering from the China declines I take it? How do you explain this to her?
Hopefully she didn't pull out.. :)
Best wishes, DfS
Hi Dividend for Starters! Thanks for stopping by.Yes, her portfolio is down but she doesn't check it. I don't think she cares much because she doesn't need this money for another two years plus I promised her even if her portfolio would be down, I will pay for her college this amount anyway... :) Next month some of her holdings will pay dividends, then I will update it here and notify her... :) Best wishes to you too!
DeleteHHWG,
ReplyDeleteI like how you break down it ALL - credit card points, interest income, spiffs like ebates AND dividend income. Please keep doing this going forward, it provides more insight on the cash flow in your life! Congrats.

Hi Lanny,
Deletethanks for your nice comment! yes, it's nice to keep truck of all these extras because this way I can see how they all add up! Best wishes to you.
You can make $20 for a 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what major companies are paying me for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So big companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars each month to the average person. In return, the average person, like me and you, fills out surveys and gives them their opinion.
