My story is simple. For years I worked hard, saved hard. But that never seemed to move the needle. In 2023, I started investing. From $0 to $130k in 3 years. Nothing special. Just buying quality dividend companies on repeat. As a designer, I built Yieldr to help other folks build wealth. It’s the research platform I wished I had. Let’s connect and grow together!

This whole $NVDA thing shows me none of us know what we are doing out here. You can do all the research in the world and still get blindsided. Thankful for time 🙏

A fun exercise - If you had to cut your individual holdings in half, which ones would survive? I would be going from 8 to 4. $GOOGL $V $BN & $ADC (I think 😬)

If you had to cut your holdings today, which would be the first to go? Mine would be $SOFI. I love the company but it’s least aligned with my goals.

A watchlist’s job is the wait. ⏰ Buying is the easy part. Waiting is the work.

What's one money habit that made a bigger difference for you than any investing "strategy"?

Playing with the weightings of my core ETFs. Same four ($SCHD $CGDV $GPIQ $TMGN), three ways to stack them. Dividend growth, equal weight, or high yield tilt. Which one are you?

When you share your portfolio, do you include your retirement account from your day job?

Dividend investors 👋 What’s your favorite metric to follow? Mine: Free Cash Flow. Quality businesses have growing FCF behind those payouts!

$ADC pays me $33 on Friday Nov 13. Small, steady, on schedule. Not the biggest payday in the portfolio, but it's the most boring in the best way. Retail boxes, re-tenant easily, dividend keeps showing up.

A great reminder from Warren Buffet in his 1994 shareholder letter… “We will continue to ignore political and economic forecasts, which are an expensive distraction for many investors and businessmen.”

Here’s my dividend ETF stack: steady growers on the bottom, income in the middle, and a small experiment on top. What's your stack look like? $SCHD $CGDV $GPIQ $TMGN

One underrated sign of financial progress: You can afford the upgrade. You want the upgrade. You decide not to buy it. Not because you're afraid to spend. Because you finally understand what that money could do for your future. Being able to buy something and choosing not to are two different forms of freedom.

My man. On here dropping the truth.
Today was the worst market decline since the last one you don’t remember or care about anymore.

On BIG red days like this, dividend investors can keep their eyes on the prize. Cash flow matters! My portfolio is bringing in: $4k a year 🙌 $340 a month 💪

When you’ve spent the last year building your hedge with funds like $SCHD You can come in on red🔻days and buy the sell-off. (Not advice, just sharing what I am doing)
