These blogs truly are the best of the best when it comes to investing on the stock market in dividend companies! It is a real treasure for dividend investors. I hope you will like them too.
Dividend Diplomats
We are the Dividend Diplomats. Two guys in their Mid-20’s in a race to gain more time now before we hit 59.5 years of age for the ‘normal’ retirement age. You can see our goals at the linked page. The Dividend Diplomat journey began in a 1997 Toyota Celica that was struggling over the 200,000 mile mark on our way to Clearfield, PA… One individual had over USD$1.5K in projected dividend income and the other had more money in his pocket than projected dividends in his portfolio, and let’s just say – most people don’t hold that much cash, if you catch my drift. This is when the journey truly began, a nice 3.5 hour conversation from two CPAs in a beater of a car talking about breaking free from the chains of working as a CPA. We both were fired up, eagerly talking investing strategies and that is when the one Diplomat began his preaching on the Dividend Investing topic and how it takes the nonsense out of the ridiculous world of investing and suddenly made it very clear on the strategy to truly build a cash flowing, incoming thriving portfolio. Here is where we will describe who we are in a short brief as well as a longer story from where we have come from and where we are about to go. Thank you for visiting our site, as we update you on or purchases, stock analysis’, goal status, portfolio updates and, of course – our dividend income monthly breakdowns. Let’s all try to learn and push each other to new lengths to fully reach financial independence, here we go!

Engineering Dividends
I’m in my 50s, a father to 3 young adults, and an electronic engineer living in California. I work in the telecommunications industry doing hardware design. Saving has been an interest of mine since I was a child (…) I loved going to the bank to deposit money into my account. The desire to save has never left me. Thanks to my parents I was able to graduate college without any student loan debt, so I was able to begin saving immediately thereafter. For the first few years after graduation, I saved for a down payment on a home, then I started investing in earnest. I’ve always lived in California (…) one of the more expensive places to be (the price you pay for terrific weather, I guess). This has certainly made it challenging to come up with new capital to invest in the dividend portfolio. Nonetheless, I add capital when I can, hoping to continue to grow the portfolio and provide a nice income stream once I retire. I’m looking forward to sharing my journey to financial independence.

Passive Income Pursuit
www.Passive-Income-Pursuit.com
My personal finance journey didn’t really start until I was laid off from my job in January of 2010. I had always been a good saver but never really kept track of anything until I was no longer working. That’s when it hit me that I need to make sure my financial house is in order for peace of mind more than anything. Until I found my current job my journey had pretty much flatlined, but that’s expected when money is only going out and not coming in. After starting this job I started to try and save as much as possible and started paying off the debts that I did have. Recently I’ve started to try and really focus on the debts which I am glad to say should be paid off sometime late in 2012. It all depends on how often I’m able to work. My retirement investments are the main source of my asset increases as of now. Once the debt is gone, I’ll be saving more money in my after-tax dollars than I will be saving for my 401(k). I’m excited for that point because my ultimate goal is to be able to ‘retire’ debt free by 40. I have a long way to go but it’s definitely possible. I’ve begun to invest in a taxable brokerage account to build up my freedom fund where I no longer have to work for money.

Young Dividend
I am an American, normal not very wealthy upbringing in a normal family with no inheritance or nice trust fund. I went to university which I had to pay out of my pocket, and graduated, and went to work afterwards. This is my pursuit of the so-called ‘American dream’, I have to start from ground zero without outside assistance. This blog is my journey to create and amass a sizable non-trivial amount of money. I would consider making, building, maintaining, and amassing fortunes as one of my hobbies. I research investments everyday, it is like a form of my entertainment. My investing activity began all the way back in 2009 when I was in university studying as an engineer and working at a part time job. I attended the most reasonably priced university I could that offered the best program that I could afford. I worked part-time while in public university, and with some scholarships, I was able to graduate with no university debt. I refuse to borrow money if possible. While in university, I put what I could in index funds initially, a low cost S&P500 index. The savings from part timing and the investments from those savings when I started this activity at age 19 were enough to pay off my tuition and fund my relocation. I got my first professional job at the end of 2013. I have been blogging my investment progress and my stock decisions ever since.

I am 38 years old and live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I’ve been married (since 2010) and have 2 awesome kids. My daughter Holland was born in 2015 and my son Isaac arrived in 2017. We also had a big goofy Newfoundland named Penny (see below) who sadly is no longer with us as of 2020. I also love reading about, talking about and debating ideas surrounding wealth, business, investing and politics. I plan to use this website to help track my own financial goals, rate & review new things I try and jot down random things that pop into my head. My investment strategy is simple. I look for solid companies, at an attractive price and hold them for the long term. I give preference to stocks that pay a safe (sustainable payout ratio) and growing dividend and with a history of earnings growth. I currently hold individual Canadian stocks in my TFSA, and use my RRSP to hold global index funds, mutual funds and a few select stocks.

My Dividend Dynasty
I am just an ordinary 34-year-old bachelor currently living one of the most expensive cities in the world, New York City (where I was born and raised). I am a dividend growth investor who is building sources of passive income in order to achieve financial independence and freedom. My intent is to amass enough wealth to decide life on my own terms. I am a minimalist who enjoys the benefits of simple living and the high savings rate the comes from frugality. Often, you’ll find that living with less mean less burdens and expenses. I don’t mind going against the flow. Living here in the Big Apple, I am a freedom-loving capitalist swimming in a sea of misguided socialists. How did it get so bad here? Nonetheless, I still have plenty of fun in this city. Building sources of passive income is the key to financial independence and freedom.

Dividends Down Under
We are huge believers in only spending money on things that are important or make us happy, to spend less than we earn. Then, with the savings, make our money work as hard as possible to help us achieve our goals. We want to own small parts of many Australian companies, these companies will grow their businesses with time and pay us ever-increasing dividends. If we own enough shares, we can live totally off dividends. This will take years and years of living below our means, spending less than we earn, being frugal, investing frequently and investing smartly. This blog will follow our progress, showing that it’s possible to achieve money goals, even on a modest income. It will also serve as a constant reminder and motivation to us to see where we started and how far we’ve already come.

Dividend Quest
Well, I’m a just a regular guy who works in the Portland Oregon metro area as a technical writer for a Pacific Northwest based company, married for over six years, and moved into our first house five years ago. So how and why did I get into dividend investing? I was a good little saver, had no debt, consistently paid off my credit card balance on time, had IRA and 401(k) accounts, and lived fairly frugally. In short, I was doing okay, but not doing ‘great’. But three things roughly coincided in 2007 to give me the swift kick in the ass I needed to change and make my money work harder for me.

Dividend Dozer
I’m 34, live in Denver, and am building a dividend growth portfolio to carry me into the future! At the start of this blog, I will have been actively investing for 10 months. I already have a Roth IRA, 401(k), and a Traditional IRA carried over from a previous 401(k). I’m starting from a good spot but I’m hoping to get even better. My journey began with no knowledge of investing, and now I’m firmly on the dividend growth path. Welcome to my site! I chose ‘Dividend Dozer’because a bull dozer is a powerful tool to slowly move enormous amounts of material. That’s exactly how I’d like to picture my dividend growth investments. Over time, they will gain more and more traction and move more and more dividends right into my bank account!

Dreaming Of Dividends
I’m a 40-year-old software engineer who grew up in the US and moved to Canada. I come from a family of first-generation refugee immigrants. I grew up poor. As I was growing up, I didn’t have much in the way of financial education. My financial education was limited to the words that my parents told me when I started my first full-time job: make sure to save some money. While my parents saved money, they were suspicious of credit cards and the stock market. To this day, my parents have very little in retirement savings. For a lot of poor or refugee and immigrant families, this is a familiar story.

Dividend Mantra
DividendMantra.com is focused at helping you ace dividend investing so that you are able to buy stocks and invest your money in companies from which you are likely to get the best possible returns on your investment. By definition, Dividend stands for the distribution of a company’s profits to a class of shareholders which is determined by the company’s board of directors. One of the most important requirements to be eligible for getting dividend is that you should own the stock before the ex-dividend date. It is also important to note that a company may pay dividend either in the form of cash or additional stock to its shareholders. Moving on to Dividend investing, there are a couple of books that can help guide you so that you put in your hard-earned money into stocks that are likely to go up in the coming years so that you tend to gain more in the form of dividend. There are many resources out there for any interested parties, we’ve compiled here what we feel are the best resources available for someone just starting out on the journey to financial independence via living below your means and dividend growth investing.

The Money Sprout
Since early 2015 (March), we have been tracking our family net worth. We hadn’t always tracked it each month (…) but back at the beginning of 2017, we decided it would help our goals to reach financial independence if we gave a monthly snapshot. Tracking it monthly helps give us a visual of our current finances. Just like any other net worth report, we track both our assets and liabilities. We want our assets to grow and our liabilities to decrease (…) which will ’widen the gap’ as some in the FI community like to call it. The funny thing is that I get more excited most months watching our liabilities drop instead of our assets grow! On the asset side, we are currently tracking 3 major categories which include – investments, cash, and the value of our home. Investments include all of our retirement accounts, 520 college savings plans for the kiddos, and our taxable brokerage accounts. Cash is pretty self explanatory (…) but we honestly like to move it into our investment bucket as soon as we can. Lastly, we track the value of our home. This is more of a hypothetical number of what we possibly could get for it if we were to sell it today.

I have made money and lost money in the stock market. No one is right 100% of the time. Hence, I have learned the hard way about considering and managing risk exposure through diversification and allocation. This site is really about building wealth using dividend growth investing. It is about managing your money so that you can save, invest, and achieve financial independence.

Finance Journey
For those new to my finance journey, this net-worth update is a simple report I publish every month, which tracks the progress of my journey to reach my financial goals. In this blog, I discuss saving money and investing in dividend growth stocks. I talk about financial freedom, and publicly share my financial goals and my net worth. And encourage you (readers) to start your own journey and reach your financial freedom faster. If you want to invest in dividend paying stocks, you will need a decent amount of money to start with. And you would need extra money every month to buy more stocks to get more dividend income. But everyone’s financial situation is different. You may have just graduated from college/university, and looking for a job. You have a big family to take care of and hard to save a penny. You just bought a house and having a hard time to meet your financial needs. Or you are having a hard time to land in a decent job.
