I’ve earned more in side income this month than I ever have before. And to think when I was 8 months in to this game I almost gave up. I earned around $100 dollars that month and it felt like such a grind. But had I not powered through and found what worked for me (at least to keep me afloat psychologically), I may never have gotten here.
I also got two raises this month – BRO gave me a 10% dividend raise and CPKF gave me a 6.25% dividend raise. It’s months like these that make me appreciate sticking with it. And I still have my side gig that provided me with a windfall last year by taking a week of paid time off from my normal job and doing another job. That’s coming up soon.
You can be sure I’m going to use some of that to keep investing.
I’ve added a new position with JEPQ and while that aligns with my goals, I still intend on balancing my portfolio by asset class exposure, sector, quarterly paying stocks (with a balanced payout cadence), and most importantly stocks with a history of increasing dividend payouts.
