Hey everyone! Looking forward to joining the dividend community here. I'm 24 and working towards financial independence to get me out of the rat race! My interest in building wealth began a few months ago when I discovered the personal finance subreddit and decided to get the student debt monkey off my back. I quickly learned about index investing and started to learn everything I possibly could about FI and early retirement. I discovered DGI as an alternative strategy, and have really been looking into it over the past month. In particular, I LOVE the idea of being able to live off of your investments while never having to dip into the principal (after all, we do all the hard work of building it up 
)
I don't have a portfolio yet, as I've been focusing on paying down credit card debts, but after tax season I think I'll be ready to pull the trigger! I should have around $2k/mo to invest. I've built up a mock portfolio and I wish I had more capital as everything seems to be on sale right now
I'm really interested in developing a system for valuing not only companies, but their dividends and dividend growth as well. I've seen a number of you on the forums have strategies you use, and I'd love to learn. Looking forward to learning and growing with all of you moving forward.
