Hi, my name is Colton and I’m a dividend growth investor.
It’s been a long time since I posted on this forum and I’m starting this thread to create an additional layer of accountability for myself.
It would also be nice to provide some value to others on the forum, as well as engage in conversation with other people who are interested in passive income. I don’t discuss my investments with friends or family, so this is my chance to share this journey and show what I’m doing.
(I don’t know if this will be interesting to anyone, but I hope that it will be.)
A little about me – I’m 25 years old and I earn the bulk of my income through an ecommerce business that I started a couple of years ago. It has been, and still is, a great opportunity for me but it has its downsides.
I am building this dividend growth portfolio to overcome the downsides of my business and job. To build a stream of income that is truly passive and will grow over the course of my lifetime and beyond.
In this thread I will be detailing my short term (monthly) financial goals as they relate to investing.
This thread may evolve over time but here’s my plan for now:
At the start of each month, I will set a goal to reach a certain average monthly income from my portfolio. Each week, I will purchase dividend growth stocks and share my purchases here. I’ll state my monthly investment income as well.
Starting Point:
Average monthly investment income: $259.98
Total Accounts Value: $88,480
Next week I will provide an update and post my goals for July here.
Until next time.
