Happy Holidays!

By 22 Comments

I’ve received the best Christmas gift of all: the gift of time with loved ones. I’m spending a very white Christmas in Michigan, surrounded by family.

I hope all of you readers are as lucky as I am, and get to see the people who mean the most to you this holiday season.

Thank you all as well for continuing to support Dividend Mantra. This blog, and all of the friendships it has sparked, is truly a gift that keeps on giving. Thank you all for giving me a reason to keep writing. Many of you comment that you stop by for inspiration, but you all inspire me!

I’ll be back to posting regularly very soon. I have a slate of posts lined up, including a review of 2013 and the goals I had for the year. I kicked some serious butt in that department! Looking forward, I’m super excited for what 2014 has in store. I’m more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward.

But for now it’s time off from the hard work that the journey to financial independence requires. As such, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!!

Thanks for reading.

  1. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
    I have been following you for months and I finally bought my first 14 shares of equity! Thanks DM for being open about your investments, it has given me the urge to be a dividend growth investor.

  6. Welorf,

    Thanks for stopping by!

    So glad to hear you’re on your own journey to prosperity. My own path started out very similarly – a few shares here, a few shares there. It adds up, believe me.

    I hope you stay in touch. Like I said in the post above, you guys inspire me just as much as I inspire you. And that’s what’s great about this community.

    Best of luck to you.

    Take care.

  8. Investing Early,

    Thanks so much. I’m looking forward to sharing my progress throughout 2014. I’m super excited for what the future holds. But I’m even more excited to see how all of you do. It’ll be great to share our success as the year goes on. 🙂

    Happy holidays!

    Best regards.

  9. Jeremy,

    And merry Christmas from Michigan. Although we’re in completely different climates, the feeling is the same. I hope you and Winnie had a wonderful holiday.

    Cheers!

  10. Chris,

    Thanks for your kind comment. I think of the support here at the blog as gifts, and I’m more than happy to keep paying it forward. 🙂

    I hope you had a very merry Christmas! I can only hope 2014 is as wonderful as 2013 was. 🙂

    Best wishes!

  11. Merry Christmas DM! I sounds like you’re having a great time in Michigan. We’re having a very sunny Christmas here in LA, with the second highest temperatures on record for this time of the year. We made it a mission to go down to the beach today to take advantage of the weather.

    I very much look forward to your post about your 2013 goals and accomplishments.

  12. Happy holidays to you, Jason! 🙂

    I must say that I also enjoy the time between christmas and the new year!
    My parents were visiting us – and we have seen, they have appreciate it very much.

    I spend a lot of time with my son – and that’s great!
    I wish you could save those days and hours for ever.

    Best regards

  16. Happy holidays to you too! I enjoy the blog and hope you have a great 2014 as well! Keep up the good work with your portfolio, we all look forward to seeing your progress.

  17. Spoonman,

    I had a wonderful time in Michigan. It reminds me of how much I miss my family when I’m up there with them. It was the best Christmas ever. 🙂

    Sounds like you had a great holiday as well. Spending some quality time down at the beach is one of my favorite things to do, especially this time of year.

    Thanks again for all of the continued support. Look forward to seeing you guys successfully transition into FI. 🙂

    Best regards!

  18. D-S,

    You spent the holidays in the best way possible: with family. I loved visiting with family. To me, family is everything.

    I hope you have a great finish to 2013 and get 2014 off to a bang! 🙂

    Take care.

  20. Happy Life,

    You have a very nice portfolio there! It sounds like you and I share a very similar vision. I wish you nothing but the best with all of your goals. Financial independence will be ours one day soon!

    Take care.

  21. SWAN,

    Unfortunately, I couldn’t spend the New Year holiday up in Michigan. I had to come back to Florida due to work obligations. Just one more reason I’m looking forward to financial independence.

    I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I hope 2014 gets off to a great start for you.

    Best wishes.

  22. Chris,

    Thanks! The holidays are a great time of year. There was no disappointment this time around, that’s for sure.

    I hope we all have a great 2014. I’m hoping I can just come close to repeating the type of success I had this year. We shall see!

    Best regards.
