Lanny’s Q2 2017 Goals Update

The Power of $50,000 in Dividend Income, Explained

You have dissected the dividend income reports and the figures that members are posting in the community. Further, you read what stocks are being purchased & by whom, as well as in what dollar amounts & frequencies.
If you’ve been to our website, then you have seen those items and have seen us post our income results each month and where we stand in our journey to financial freedom with the main catalyst of dividend investing. Instead of being “this thing” that investors and the community is doing, I wanted to pull a major, not the only, but a major driver from behind the curtain on the “why” we are dividend investing.
