Archives for September 2014

Destination: Sarasota

September 28, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 163 Comments

I spent a wonderful summer in Michigan, getting some quality time in with family. It was a very interesting time for me, to say the least. I suppose I’ve felt guilty about the fact that I had to basically move far away from home and family in order to succeed, and I’ve missed out on a […]

Don’t Succumb To OMYS

September 24, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 140 Comments

I’ve written about acronyms a couple times before: YOLO. LBYM. Now we have OMYS: One More Year Syndrome. What Is One More Year Syndrome? I define one more year syndrome as an affliction where one continues to work past the point of it being necessary in the pursuit of more money. Said another way, someone receiving $20,000 […]

Recent Buy

September 22, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 134 Comments

I wasn’t quite sure I would stretch for a second stock purchase this month after adding to my General Electric Company (GE) position a little over two weeks ago, but September has been very kind to me in regards to my dividend income and kicking in some fresh capital from my bank account meant I […]

Weekend Reading – September 21, 2014

September 21, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 48 Comments

So I’m spending this weekend over on the west side of Michigan, getting some quality time in with my sister and her husband. Always great to see family, catch up, and goof around with each other. Plus, we’ve eaten some great food! I’m currently reading through the financial statements on a tiny company that I’m interested […]

Think Like An Owner – Part 2

September 18, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 94 Comments

I wrote an article last month about thinking like an owner. It was a piece that I’ve been meaning to write for a while now, but finally had some time to put my thoughts down. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, but I think there’s still some additional points I wanted to cover. […]

Two Insurance Stocks On My Radar

September 16, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 108 Comments

From a consumer standpoint I might not really appreciate insurance companies. After all, it seems like the money I spend on my premiums just goes into a black hole, never to be seen from again. I rarely initiate claims, and would prefer to keep it that way, as that means some kind of tragedy has likely […]

Using Extreme Frugality In The Beginning To Get Things Rolling

September 14, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 147 Comments

Life is a journey. An ever-changing one, at that. As such, it would be unrealistic to expect that one would maintain the same lifestyle or same ideas about life from childhood to death. We grow. We learn. We change. We hope to become better versions of ourselves as we age. At least, that’s what I’m really […]

The 4% Rule Examined

September 11, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 185 Comments

I determined when I first started investing back in early 2010 that the dividend growth investing strategy was extremely robust for my goals. And I’ve relentlessly pursued it, building up the six-figure portfolio I now control. I wanted to be in a position to where I could retire by 40 years old, and live solely off […]

Income/Expenses For August 2014

September 9, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 104 Comments

I’ve been tracking my income and expenses online since I initiated this blog back in early 2011. I do this for a few reasons. First, I want to prove to the world that it’s possible to become financially independent at a relatively young age even if you don’t make a lot of money. I don’t […]

Price And Value

September 7, 2014 by Dividend Mantra Team 95 Comments

I’m going to start this article with the eternal words of Warren Buffett, as written in Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s (BRK.B) 2008 shareholder letter: Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that “Price is what you pay; value is what you get.” Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is […]
