Recent Buy

July 30, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 127 Comments

Turned out to be another busy month! The last stock purchase of the month, this one wasn’t actually planned. I was quite content with the four purchases I made in July, all of which were fairly well spread out across the economic sectors and all purchased at what I feel are really solid long-term values. But […]

Five Reasons Why Florida Might Be The Best State To Seek Out And Achieve Early Retirement

July 28, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 193 Comments

I was working for a domestic car dealership just outside metro Detroit in early 2009. Couldn’t have picked a worse career at a worse time in a worse place. I remember there were fears over the manufacturer possibly going out of business. People stopped buying cars. The service lane became a lot less busy. And […]

I’m incredibly fortunate to be in a position where I’m able to consistently buy stock in high-quality companies that have track records of reliably and regularly paying and growing dividends. And I’m taking maximum advantage of that fortunate position by once more deploying capital and buying shares in a fantastic business. This most recent purchase […]

Dividend Growth Update – Second Quarter 2015

July 23, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 108 Comments

Welcome to another dividend growth update! Earlier this year, I started publicly tracking dividend growth as it relates to my portfolio. I’ll update this information every quarter, which will provide relevant and important information on dividend raises announced by the companies I hold equity in, the size of those dividend increases, and how that affects […]

Shouldn’t The Joneses Be Keeping Up With Us?

July 21, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 177 Comments

Ahh, the old keeping up with the Joneses. Such a popular and well-known part of our vernacular, it actually has its own Wikipedia page: “Keeping up with the Joneses” is an idiom in many parts of the English-speaking world referring to the comparison to one’s neighbor as a benchmark for social class or the accumulation […]

I continue to remain aggressive hunting down the best deals on high-quality stocks I can possibly find and deploying capital when those sales present themselves. It appears another sale presented itself. So I deployed some capital. What else would you expect, right? The stock I’m going to discuss today is available at one of the […]

Mid-Year Goals Review For 2015

July 16, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 140 Comments

Can you believe it?  We’re halfway through July and more than halfway through 2015. I used to lament how fast time passed by, feeling like my time was slipping away right through my fingers. Time passes by a bit slower for me these days, but it still seems to slip away faster than I’d like. […]

More volatility? Yes, please. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. – Michael Corleone, The Godfather: Part III That’s kind of how I feel about this most recent purchase, though. It’s a buy in the Energy sector, which is a sector I’ve been actively trying to dance around a bit. I’ve […]

Income/Expenses For June 2015

July 12, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 132 Comments

I’ve been publicly tracking my income and expenses 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 […]

July 8, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 249 Comments

My, my. Feels good to write this article! Munger has said that accumulating the first $100,000 from a standing start, with no seed money, is the most difficult part of building wealth. Making the first million was the next big hurdle. To do that a person must consistently underspend his income. Getting wealthy, he explains, […]
