As you can see I was $64 dollars short to reach 3K in my passive stock income.

Additional passive income or free money from different financial institutions:

Interest:                                                          $1.60

Points AMEX                                                   $21.16

Points Discover                                               $21.71

Promo gift cards                                             $40.00     

(JC Penny/KOHLS)

My total financial passive income for the month of December was $506.91

It means I am half way to reach my 1K passive income goal from stocks and financial institutions. If I look back into my 2016 month by income December was the best month so far.

Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenager December Dividends update

I wrote how we started Dividend Stocks portfolio for my daughter and keep track of our progress here.

Wow December is gone. We didn't purchase any stocks because my daughter decided to try selling Mary Kay products and this was her "investment" in the month of December. We will see how it will go.

We have total of 10 stocks in my daughter's portfolio.
In 2016 we bought two stocks - Amazon and Ford.
