April & May 2014 Update



Great time of the year with summer upon us, Stanley Cup play-offs, and baseball in full swing!

The days are some of the longest of the year which means extra time hanging with my 21 month old son in the back yard playing catch and goofing around.  That is what life is all about and why I am trying my best to achieve FI.

Anyways, I didn't post an April update so wanted to give a quick summary:

    That is so awesome that you are knocking on the door of 13k in forward dividends. I can't wait to see next month's results.

  5. MDP, my 2014 goal is $14,250 forward dividends. I am on track but may need a pullback sometime this year to be a little more aggressive with the purchases.

    Thanks for the comment and you know I am following your progress!

    cheers,

  6. AFFJ, thanks for the comment. Ive been on this DGI journey since 2010 so have been able to collect a somewhat diversified portfolio. I follow about 80 stocks and try to buy what I feel offers the most value when my purchases go through every Tuesday.

    take care!
