The Diplomats’ December Side Hustle Report

The final month of the 2017 year for the Dividend Diplomat Side Hustle Report!  This marks our 7th post on the topic and all have been very consistent with what we write about.  The two of us haven’t had a nice “Board” meeting, where we strategize upcoming themes and articles for the new year, quite yet.  Yes, these board meetings incorporate lots of coffee and pizza, with endless dividend stock discussion.  Our meetup hasn’t occurred due to both of us going through a heft busy season, where the limited “free” time is usually transferred to sleeping.  However, not to go down a never ending hole about the struggles of busy season, let’s crab a fresh cup of coffee and read our FINAL 2017 Dividend Diplomat side hustle report!
