Dividend Growth Portfolio - Objective: Retire by 50

[Rasec]

2016 was a great year for me personally and hence more challenging goals for 2017 with a bunch of B and C plans:



My 2017 Goals

Investments:

• Invest $75k in "new cash" in the market (outside 401K)
  
• DRIP all dividends
  
• Max out 401K by end of H1 2017
  
• Hit $10k in forward dividends / year
  
• Discuss tax plans with a CPA with experience in international taxes and tax planning
  
• Solve issue with IRS (basically they've owed me ~$4.5k for several years)
  

Keep improving my CV

• Do an executive course in Marketing / Business Management / Leadership at a top school in the US (eg. MIT / Stanford / Harvard, etc)
  
• Apply to at least 2 jobs outside my company and interview for those roles (I want to stay on top of my game in case I need to interview in the future)
  

Work life balance

• Visit at least 1 new country
  
• Spend more quality time with my son, sign up for one activity together (maybe soccer?)
  
• Play in 4 squash tournaments (played 3 in 2016)
  

Cheers to a fantastic 2017!!
