I earned over $70 dollars last week in beer money income. I wouldn’t have accomplished it without the dividends. That’s certainly a strong motivator to continue doing what I’m doing. I have almost reached 10% of my goal. I plan to do a quarterly review to see what kind of trends reveal themselves and to see if I can improve my performance.
I’m also in the process of analyzing more data from last month’s earning thread in /r/BeerMoney. It has certainly been an interesting week in the finance world and while I expect some volatility, I’m hoping my strategy to further diversify helps smooth some of the rough patches. Because I am focused on income I believe that moving forward I should sell any asset I currently own that cuts its dividend. I didn’t do that in the case of SLG because it was so early in this project, but if they cut it again next year I will have to seriously reevaluate my position. I am also keeping a close eye on PSEC.
