Well I started the year under 4k in forward 12-month dividends. With constant additions of new capital each week plus some dividend raises, I’ve hit my 2013 goal of $6500 in forward dividends.
I suppose I’m setting some of my goals a little conservative but I didn’t expect to meet them this early. The hardest goal to hit will be the 5k in total dividends. It doesn’t look like the refinance is going to happen with what rates have done so that will probably be the only goal for the year I don’t hit.
I’ve already completed 4 out of my 8 goals so far this year. All of my goals are posted on my goals tab.
Good job! Today I passed the $2,500 mark for my forward 12-month dividends, so I have some catching up to do. 😉
Hey thanks DGM. I was at the $2500 point not that long ago. The good thing is that you’ve made a transition to a higher paying job and should be able to start contributing more. You should reach FI that much faster now.
Thanks for stopping by!
whoaa, this is a great achievement! Congrats man!
I am still below 1000 🙁
Hi Martin,
Thanks! Looking back, I should have adjusted the goal a little higher since I handily beat my goal last year. You will get there, it takes a little patience and persistence. I still have a long ways to go myself.
Good luck!
I know I will get there :). I am fighting my debt currently, so my investments grow slowly due to very little contributions which tears me down and makes me reluctant to pay money towards the debt instead of investing. But I know it is important to liquidate it first.
