Very strange article title, isn’t it? To begin, I love dividend stocks to invest in. I love the pursuit to financial freedom and to be completely independent in the decision of what to do with my time. As with that time – happiness is what truly matters, and making a difference in others lives. I want to do that, NOW, Tomorrow, the next day and so on. I want to be able to spend as much time with friends and family as I see fit in my life and to help others that are in need. In doing some “deep-thinking” on how to further expedite this, maximize my money, which buys time, I have changed a strategy of mine. The target? Taxes.
June Dividend Income from YOU the Bloggers!
As the tradition continues, each month we aggregate a list to show how other bloggers in the Dividend Investing community are CRUSHING IT! We are doing the best we can in reading articles during the busy summer months – so by no means if you aren’t on here doesn’t mean that we did not read your article or will read your article, just at the time of reading we added it to the list. Bert is over here killing it on his 2nd quarter goals, already, as well as having the best day of his life, ever. The Cavs (YES YES YES!) won an NBA championship and you can say our city of Cleveland is still in celebration mode. With that being said – see our June Dividend Income summary from the blogging community.
Bert’s Q2 2016 Goals Review
I know I said it in my June Dividend income article as well. But still….HOLY COW, I can’t believe the year is halfway over. This quarter will always hold a special place in my heart though considering I got married in May. Can’t believe that was a month ago too. WOW! After the quarter is over, we like to take some time here and check up on our 2016 goals to check our progress and see if we need to make any necessary adjustments on the fly. With six months remaining, there is still plenty of time to steer ourselves back onto the road if we have started wandering off.
Bert’s June Dividend Income Summary
Lanny beat me to the punch for releasing our monthly dividend income summary and lets just say I have a tough act to follow. $1,100 in total dividend income and a 30.31% dividend growth rate…impressive numbers Lanny! You are crushing it. However, the show must go on here and luckily for me, I had some nice year over year growth as well. Time to peel back the layers and take a dive into my June dividend income summary!
Lanny’s June Dividend Income Summary
It’s only right so say — WE ARE HALF WAY THROUGH THE YEAR!!! On top of that – my Cavs won the NBA Finals and our first championship in 52+ years AND the Tribe are CURRENTLY on a 14 game win streak. Cleveland could not be on any more fire than they are right now. What about my portfolio? Can it keep up with the heat that Cleveland as it’s aura? Did my Dividend Portfolio spit out the best income it’s ever had? Well, let’s find this out and see if I hit some big targets!
Bert’s Recent Buy – Target (TGT)
I just couldn’t sit on the sideline any longer. For those of you that have followed our blog over the last month, you would have realized that there was one stock I have been fixated on…Target (TGT). It was the number 1 stock on my June watch list for a reason. Over the month, I was patiently waited for the right moment to strike. When I went to buy, the stock price increased. When I wasn’t able t access the internet to actually purchase the stock, the price fell. Finally, the stars aligned as the markets had two terrible days after the Brexit situation. Time to check out why and most importantly, how much TGT stock I purchased this week!
Every Dollar Counts
Here I am sitting on a Sunday early afternoon, thinking of what post to write. I am currently updating my actual expenses for the month, after coming home from the Grocery store, where I spent $27.76. I looked at my portfolio, reviewed articles online, took a sip of my coffee and thought, what the heck am I doing? What is in my surrounding to inspire me to write a post that can attract readers, get people interested and showcase a passion of mine. I looked in the mirror as I was brushing my teeth and noticed the grey in my hair. Then.. it hit me.
