I hit my goal again last week, but just barely, and only with the help of dividends. I’m okay with that – a win is a win. Assuming all goes well this week then I will hit $10 dollars a month in dividends. I’ll be 10% complete with my goal of $100 a month. I’ve been learning a lot these past few months. After diving in and immersing myself, I feel like I’ve gained a better understanding of the stock market, business, and even myself.
I’ve been tracking everything to the best of my ability, and looking back, I can see I’ve made a lot of progress. I’ve already earned over $20 dollars in dividends. I’ve also invested over $1,400 dollars. That’s $1,400 dollars that I earned online doing various surveys and tasks.
Prolific is clearly the best source of beer money income for me right now, but I also think it’s pretty cool that over 1% of my earnings have come from dividends this early in the game. Below is a full break down of my income so far.

That’s pretty cool. And I have to admit it seems to be getting easier and easier as I continue.
