My VOIP Cell Phone

March 30, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 9 Comments

Since deciding to live in more frugal ways in order to maximize my investments and savings, I’ve become very creative in cutting expenses.

Three High Yield Stocks On My Radar

March 25, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 4 Comments

Looking at my portfolio over the last few days, I have noticed that I only have one high-yield stock currently in the stable. That one stock would be my position with Altria (MO).

Why I love PepsiCo

March 18, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 5 Comments

I have a confession. I love Coca-Cola, and I drink the red can everyday. I drink it pretty much exclusively. But that does not bias me against PepsiCo or any other beverage company. I really love PepsiCo, and wanted to devote today’s post to that love. Yesterday, I stopped in at my local Publix to […]

Cut Cable

March 14, 2011 by Dividend Mantra Team 6 Comments

One of the cornerstones of my investing philosophy is to live frugally. Frugal living offers many benefits to the individual investor, which I’ll expound upon frequently as I post. My foremost goal is to retire by 40 years old, paying expenses with the passive income stream I will have built by then. Living frugally will […]

I decided early this morning I was going to write about McD’s and decided to visit a McDonald’s location close to my work today for lunch (for research and yummy goodness). I ordered a #1, which for anyone living under a rock […]
