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.

My Monthly House Expenses – Mid-2016 Update
Hello everyone! I wanted to be able to update one of life’s biggest monthly costs that I am chewing on – and that is – the cost of living in my house each and every month. Surprisingly it has been over 2 years since I have written about my payments that go out each month, and to show the community whether that has changed for better or for worse, even though I internally review this each and every month. I find more data and time interesting, as it can really tell how well you manage and how consistent you are able to keep with your management & money. Without further-ado here is my 2016 update to my housing expenses!
Lanny’s May Dividend Income Summary
Whoo! Here we go! The Cavs just clinched the Eastern Conference and are going to The Finals – beginning June 2nd, two of my best friends were married this month and I’m excited to see what opportunities lie ahead going into the last 7 months of the year. The market has been essentially slightly up since the end of May, but not by much – however, we still do have Tuesday, May 31st to make a statement (I’d be happy with a 5% stock shock downwards… haha). With that – let’s check out what dividends were received in this month of May 2016!
