Mistakes. We’ve all made them. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes over the years, professionally and personally. Sometimes, the best way to learn is to experience the pain yourself. It is funny, my mom and I were talking over the weekend and she told me that my grandpa always used to tell her that “learning is expensive.” This didn’t specifically relate to education, either. This related to different life situations her and my dad encountered over the years. This year, I’ll be turning 29. My 20s will soon be in the rear-view mirror. I’ve made plenty of financial mistakes over the years that have likely cost me a lot of dividend income. With the benefit of hindsight, I wanted to share my top 5 financial mistakes and calculate the true impact they had on my life and my dividend income.
