Hi Dividend Mantra, thanks for adding me to your blogroll!
ReplyDeleteHi Dividend Mantra,
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding me to your blogroll; it is greatly appreciated.
All the best,
TWC
Hi DM....
ReplyDeleteBeen noticing a flow of readers from your blog to mine and got curious enough to click over here.
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll. I am honored, and a bit surprised.
Our last online conversation over on MMM saw us on opposite sides. Glad there are no hard feelings and I applaud your willingness to suggest to your readers my site with its different take than yours. Class move.
That said, clearly we have more in common than not:
Live on less than you make
Avoid debt
Invest the difference
All the best to you!
JC
JC,
DeleteNo problem on adding you to my blogroll. You have a quality blog, and you have a great approach to seeking financial independence. There's more than one way to skin a cat, with the cat in this example being FI.
I agree that we have more in common than not, and either way it's always nice to exchange ideas with intelligent people.
Best wishes on your journey to FI!
DM- Thanks for adding me to your blogroll, I respect you greatly. This is a huge compliment. Here's to a great year of saving, investing and enjoying the process.
ReplyDeleteMy Saving Style,
DeleteNo problem on that. I hope your blogging treats you well!
Thanks for the compliment! I really appreciate that.
And, definitely...I'm looking forward to a great 2012, for the both of us!
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on your FI plans. Hopefully you'll get there sooner than expected.
jonathanmcurry,
DeleteBest of luck on your journey as well!
Keep in touch.
Hi DM,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting my link. I've got a lot to learn from your blog and only hope you and your readers will find my posts mildly entertaining.
Looking forward to following your journey to its successful conclusion.

Thank you for adding A Road Paved with Dividends to your blogroll!
ReplyDeleteBen,
DeleteNo problem. May your journey prove fruitful and I'm looking forward to updates.
Take care!
Hi Dividend Mantra, great blog. On your goal to retire with passive dividend income, I think thats totally doable. I set the same for myself 10 yrs ago and now have reached $25k/yr. Not sure retirement will come by 40, but its still the aim. Best of luck & look forward to seeing your updates.
ReplyDeleteIntegrator,
DeleteThanks for stopping by. I appreciate the support!
I also believe my goal is attainable. By my calculations I'm on pace to reach my goal by about 38-39 years old..so 40 gives me a small margin of safety. We'll see how it goes. It's incredibly difficult to try and forecast numbers like this even one year out...so 10 years out is almost impossible.
Keep up the great work. $25k/year in dividend income is amazing, and would retire me instantly!
Best wishes.
Thank you for adding my site to your blogroll.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards Tom
Tom,
DeleteNo problem! Best of luck with the continuing success on your blog.

DM, thanks for adding me to your blogroll!! Love your site and wish you the best on your continued path to FI!
ReplyDeletewriting2reality,
DeleteAbsolutely! No problem on the addition.
I hope your journey towards FI treats you as well as mine has treated me. Keep up the inspiration!
Best wishes!
Hey Jason,
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly for adding me to your blogroll. I've noticed quite a few people stopping by to kick the tires
I'll be following along on your journey. Your story is inspiring and you make it look easy. I hope many others recognize that and start on their own path to freedom
Let me know when you are looking to head out on the road, I'd be happy to help with the planning
All the best
Jeremy
Jeremy,
DeleteNo problem! I dig your blog and your message. Your journey is really interesting!
It looks like we'll be mutually following each other and I wish you the best out there on the road.
I'll definitely take you up on that offer some day!
Best regards.
Hey, Jason,
ReplyDeleteIs that you on the today show?
I thought it looked like you.
Larry
Larry,
DeleteYeah, that was me! I just posted an article on that...although the secret is already apparently out.
Thanks for noticing! I guess my face is becoming somewhat familiar. :)
Hope all is well on your journey!
Best wishes.
Hi Jason I emailed you at dividendmantra@yahoo.com. My email my go to spam so I will give it to you here: marcusnolan@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteMarcus,
DeleteI got your email. I'll be in touch.
Best regards!
Hello DM,
ReplyDeleteI recently came across your blog. It is very inspiring for anyone who believes that LBYM is the only way to personal freedom. I am pleasantly surprised to see so many like minded individuals.
Living in this world, you would think that virtually everyone around is out of their minds. Rich for excesses of their spending and poor for feeling bad that they cannot spend more. We are bombarded by media and completely overwhelmed by mindless consumerism. It is like a collective obsession and drug addiction where all biological and mental energy is squandered just for another fix of consuming more.
Dividend investment I learned from your blog. I like it. In my 401k and SEP accounts I am mostly into S&P 500 index funds and ETFs with some bonds ETFs. I own just few stocks and I am not too much into the stock analysis and picking.
What do you think of ETFs that follow your investment strategy? Namely two of them: Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) and Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM). Do you think that those ETFs can be alternative to Freedom Fund in terms of dividend payments, or should we go into the individual stocks?
Thank you for great blog and keep up with good work.
BR
BR,
DeleteThanks for stopping by! Glad you recently came across the blog and have found a forum for like minded individuals and investors to openly share information and progress with one another. Knowledge is best when shared.
I'm with you on the LBYM theme. It's so easy to do in a country where there is so much abundance, yet it's so uncommon. It's a shame to a degree, but I don't vilify people who don't live below their means. There are different lifestyles for different people and I always say live and let live. It only bothers me when people from the other side of the camp vilify me for trying to achieve my dreams. As long as you're not hurting others I say do what you want. I'm just doing what I feel is best for my long-term health and wealth..and that's living below my means and investing in quality dividend paying companies so that I can escape the rat race at an early age. The cheese wheel just doesn't do it for me anymore, and probably never did.
Per your last question, I actually just wrote a post and specifically compared VIG to dividend growth investing:

Hope that helps.

Are you following Swedish blogs?!
ReplyDeleteChrimatistikos,
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely be interested in following. Do you have a translate button somewhere on your blog?
Thanks!
Hah. Hi. Well... I was just surprised to see Swedish blogs on your blogroll. Hence my little outcry. I've added a Translate-button now. The translation though is quite - what to call it... - interesting. Hardly readable in English. Anyway, I can understand YOUR blog perfectly fine though and love reading it! We have very similar mindset and investing styles (a style that isn't too rare though, at least among Swedish bloggers). So I just wanted to say thank you and good luck in your quest!
Delete"Still a few days left but made a statement over corn revenue and expenditure." Hah, that's hilarious. "Mays" in Swedish means corn and the translation tool don't know that I'm writing about May, the month. So apparently I have a blog about corn revenue and expenditure!
ReplyDeleteChrimatistikos,
DeleteAww, that sucks that the translation tool doesn't work quite right! Technology is surprisingly disappointing in the weirdest of ways, while being absolutely mind boggling in other ways. Funny.
I'll have to stop by the blog and see if I can figure out what you're writing! :)
Best regardds.
