Well, 2018 was a rough year with lots of ups and downs, many medical bills and other expenses to deal with. Also was finally able to pull all the families funds together and have a complete picture of what we have. So after a year and a half, I can finally update how the seed has been germinating.
Pulling everything together, and our seed has grown into the following:
Our projected Annual dividend has grown to $904 a year, if I'm calculating the Vanguard items correctly. The Vanguard funds are from a my job moving from Nationwide to Vanguard for our 457 plan. Not sure if I should convert them into stocks, or move them over to one of the dividend growth options that Vanguard offers. Maybe I will just keep them and have new money go toward better dividend options. Suggestions always welcome.
Looking at building up funds for a move in to DWDP, as I see the upcoming split of the company as a opportunity for solid growth. Every where else, just keeping the ball rolling and not letting the ups and downs get to me.
