Hello fellow DGI's - BLTN - 10-25-2015
Hi all.
After my new life, read divorce, at 53 I suddenly find that I have extra money at the end of each month. Go figure. Took me a couple of years of researching to decide on an investment strategy as I am somewhat risk averse but have finally settled on dividend growth investing. Started early this year. Can't time the market right? I figure I have 14 years until retirement. Upon planning, again, for retirement I calculate I will need to supplement my income with about 12K in additional annual income and I believe this is achievable through DGI. I will post my portfolio in the portfolio thread for your comments.
I have been reading this board for about 6 months and thought I would let you know I appreciate all of your comments.
Thanks
BLTN

BLTN, welcome aboard!
After pissing away a lot of years and cash with all kinds of investment styles, I turned to DGI around 7 or so years ago. It just made so much more sense than anything else I tried or read about. You don't get rich overnight but I find I sleep better and have more confidence when you see the income stream inching its way up over the years.
Looking forward to your participation.
