I use a lot of different platforms everyday. And with these platforms come different referral links and referral incentives.  Usually these never get clicked and I am just left with a dusty link that no one wants to give a try. Today thought, I got a...

Market was bleeding a bit today. Gave me a good chance to buy into my most underweight holding. I'm looking for a down trend this week. So then I can buy in again next money and get some value buys for once! M1 Finance  Purchased $10 worth of $CAT to...

Yes, as always these HSA and 401(k) posts are delayed. I get the statements a few days late. Hopefully this doesn't confuse people and make them think I am a time wizard. But for my own purposes, it can be frustrating to have to wait a few days to se...

A rather bloody Monday this morning. But none the less I put forward my $10 in M1 Finance as usual and bought whatever dip I could find.  Today I purchased into one holding with all the idle cash I was holding on M1. This means that the specific hold...

You all know I am a dividend investor. Anytime a company pays out a dividend, I get paid. Essentially, it's another payday for me beyond my day job. Because of this, I invest in stock/funds that pay out generous and sustainable dividends. I prefer to...

Another pay period has come and gone, and with that means another contribution has been made into my 401(k). As previously stated in my last blog post about my 401(k), I get up to a 6% match from my employer and so I only contribute 6% of my paycheck...

We finally had a down day! It was a bit more extreme than I would have liked for a single day but let's see how long a steady down trend can last.  M1 Finance  Over a $100 loss for the taxable portfolio today. Not the biggest down day by a long shot....

I'm a day late on this post as well, but to be fair, the transactions didn't appear until today!  So I have another taxable portfolio that I have with Fidelity. It is in one of their Fidelity Go accounts. This one is not as large as my M1 Finance por...
