Recent Buy And Recent Sell - October 2015

In the last week, I've decided to take some action in my portfolio - I've sold 1 stock and bought 2 stocks, I did this to take profit and make more dividend income.

SELL

I've sold my all GE shares, after the news about the swap (if you want) of GE shares for Synchrony shares, the stock price of GE also got too high for me before the swap, so I took the profit , and will watch  in the next couple of months to see what will happened with the stock price.

Side Hustles - September 2015

It is the time to post about my Side Hustles, I try to bring as much income as I can so I can pay my child support(Alimony), I try to build few income streams in case I will lose again my day job income - Like it was before.

So here they are:

Dividend income - $70.68

Ads on this blog and my other blog about coins and stamps - $0.09

Delcampe store - $1.25 sales (Not profit!!)

eBay Store - $14.50 sales( Not profit!!)

Recycling Cans and Bottles - $12.58

Total Side Hustles for September: $99.10

My side hustles don't picked up yet, the ads on my blogs still are low income, but my main problem is the low sales in my eBay store and Delcampe store that it seems that the sales don't pick up, but now the holidays season starts so I will keep the stores open.

The Dividend income and recycling cans and bottles generate solid income so far.

Dividend Portfolio Update - September 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.

Side Hustles - August 2015

First post about my Side Hustles that I wrote before, I try to bring as much income as I can so I can pay my child support(Alimony), so I built few income streams in case I will lose again my day job income - Like I was in the last 3 months.

so here they are:

Dividend income - $26.19

Ads on this blog and my other blog about coins and stamps - $0.10

Delcampe store - $2 sales (Not profit!!)

eBay Store - $0 sales( Yes ZERO!!)

Recycling Cans and Bottles - $80

Total Side Hustles for August: $108.29

I think that for first month that I do side hustles it is good income, What do think??

Dividend Income - August 2015

Another month has passed by and I'm glad to share my journey to financial freedom due to alimony.
In August I've earned $26.19 (after tax) in dividends  -

GIS - $5.94
AXP - $3.04
CL - $4.56
PG - $5.96
FAST - $3.99
COST - $2.70

This month I've sold 5 ETF's: DVE, IYR, IXJ, FDD and KBE.

This month I've bought 8 stocks: WFC, T , VZ, JNJ, DE, DOV, CAT and PM.

Next month probably I will have less dividend income due to the ETF's sells but I offset it with 8 new stocks so in the other months I will get higher dividends.

May dividend income covers 3.90% from the monthly alimony.

I invite you to write and share your dividend income of August.

I'm long on all the above mention stocks..

First Of September - My Life Is On The Right Way :)

In recent months I searched again the path of my life .

A year ago I've decided to make a change in my employment and learn a new profession - an insurance broker and an investment advisor .

At age 44(in 2 weeks :-) ), divorce, father of two children who is paying alimony(child support), it was a big risk, my studies cost a lot of money, I moved back from the north to the center of the country, and my new job was enough for basic expenses and alimony(child support).

As someone who has been throgh a thing or two in his life, I jumped back into the cold water with a lot of faith I can do it.

I enrolled in four courses at the same time to finish and gradueat as quickly as possible. 

I started a new job in a new city called Herzliya and it 

seemed that everything goes smoothly.

There was only one thing I didn’t tought about…
