2016 Goals

We are heading into 2016, and it is the time to write down the next year goals. after 2015 bad fiasco in financial terms, I hope that next year would be much better.

Last week my ex-wife told me that from January my girl will have to go to the orthodontic , to fix her teeth, I need to pay half of this and it will be approx. $1600 each of us. I didn't prepared for this, so I will need to find funds for that.

So lets go the goals for the 2016 year:

Goals 2015 - End Of Year Review

This year is ended…I started my blog 10 months ago, here is the final numbers -

2015 Goals - 

1.   Earn $1,200 in dividend income.

2.   Increase value of dividend portfolio to $37,000 at least.

3.   Reduce my loans to $6,100.

4.   Write 42 posts in my blog.

5.   Reach 13,000 page view to my blog.

6.   Have 125 followers at Twitter.

7.   Have 125 likes to my Facebook page.

so lets go directly for what I did this year:

Robert Shimen And Me

Us as a group of people who want to make an passive income, I assume that my readers read like me books and blogs from the people who 'did it'… I was two days ago in the discourse of Robert Shimen in Haifa, he was telling about the book – 'how come this idiot's is reach and I'm not?', I have learned few things from this nice hour and my conclusion is he is not an idiot at all.

And if the rich people like him made their wealth with their two hands they are far far away from being idiots. Period.

Now, it was a very nice evening, we got out from the net and the blogs and the books to hear the story from first hand and take a nice photo, and touch dollars dust.

Around the week before my girl watched few videos that tells how to make an passive income more then what I have, she wanted to be more involve of this idea, here is her conclusion – passive income is a real job until it become passive one, and even after you got it, it takes time to keep it, if not it can be hobby with a little income, like she do – complete puzzles. And the people who teach us how to make a passive income – it's their real job, just like Robert Shimen do.

Merry Christmas

Dividend Income - November 2015

Another month has passed by and I'm glad to share my journey to financial freedom due to alimony.
In November I've earned $60.68 (after tax) in dividends  -

Dividend Portfolio Update - November 2015

Well, the time has come to update my dividend portfolio once again as heading to another start of a new month. My portfolio is my way to freedom from looking after funds to pay my alimony. One day, the dividend income this portfolio generates will fully cover my alimony. It’s important to keep in mind that I'm updating the overall value of my portfolio because if I have setbacks  I will use the funds in my dividend portfolio to pay my alimony.
