The Predictability And Practicality Of Dividends

August 30, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 109 Comments

In light of some recent minor volatility in the stock market, I thought now would be a great time to revisit the very nature of dividend growth investing and why it’s such a robust strategy for those aiming to one day live off of their growing dividend income. Now, there are a number of really attractive […]

Five High-Quality Dividend Growth Stocks That Look Very Appealing After Recent Volatility

August 27, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 115 Comments

Blink and you miss it?  The broader market is already on its way to recovering after the recent volatility. That’s rather unfortunate. I’m a huge proponent of dollar cost averaging, assuming that one will hit the highs and lows along the way. That DCA strategy is made even more powerful when one has the ability […]

Boy, I missed the absolute bonanza of a sale that occurred Monday, but I still scored a pretty good deal on a high-quality stock to finish off August. If timing the market were necessary to achieve financial independence, I’d fail miserably. Fortunately, it’s not necessary and time in matters more than timing. Time in is […]

Time In The Market Trumps Timing The Market For The Long-Term Investor

August 23, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 230 Comments

It’s funny. Add just a smidgen of volatility to the stock market and people go crazy. The last few days of last week proved to be a little volatile for the stock market. Oil prices are at multi-year lows right now. Questions about global growth, China, and Greece continue to dominate headlines. But does any of […]

How To Think About Properly Servicing/Repairing A Vehicle

August 20, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 87 Comments

This is coming at you from a (former) industry insider. I worked in the auto industry for approximately nine years. Over that time frame, I worked at a variety of car dealerships. One thing I’ve realized is that they pretty much more or less all work the same, which, I believe, gives me some insight. […]

I’m so fortunate to be in a position where I’m able to fairly regularly put capital to work. And I’m not just putting capital to work. I’m putting it to work by investing in some of the highest-quality businesses in the entire world. And not just any high-quality businesses. But only those that are so […]

Why I’m Glad To Have Had A Job I Hated

August 16, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 149 Comments

That’s right. I’m glad I had a job that I hated. That job was working as a service advisor in the auto industry. Specifically, I worked for a variety of car dealerships over my eight-year career. I worked in the business for about nine years in total if we’re counting the time I worked my […]

Income/Expenses For July 2015

August 13, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 141 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 […]

As I’ve noted a few times recently, there are a number of really high-quality dividend growth stocks that have already corrected rather significantly on an individual level, even while the broader stock market remains near its all-time high. But that’s one reason I love investing the way I do. I don’t really need to worry […]

Dividend Income Update – July 2015

August 9, 2015 by Dividend Mantra Team 114 Comments

Another month has passed by and it’s time for me to post an article on my favorite subject: dividend income. The reason why I love to publish articles updating my dividend income is because it’s pure numbers. It’s hard to argue the success of long-term dividend growth investing when you can slowly and surely see […]
