Dividend Broadcaster

Despite strong earnings, $MSFT getting dragged down with the rest of tech.

I started late in the investing game. I was in my early 30s with very little money and zero financial knowledge. I started by investing only $50 a month. It wasn’t much, but it created a habit. One that became addictive. Starting is the hardest part. The rest is cake.

The biggest anchor in my retirement plan was $VTI. In my accumulation years, I DCA’d into $VTI monthly. For decades.

Who is $VTI best suited for? Investors that want: ➡️ Simplicity ➡️ Low costs ➡️ Diversification ➡️ Long-term growth What does $VTI invest in? The top five sectors include: 1. Tech 2. Financials 3.

After two decades of investing in real estate, I’ve learned some important truths: ➡️Purchase price is critical if you want to make money. ➡️Quality tenants matter more than raising rents. ➡️Appreciation is nice, cash- flow is better. ➡️Don’t neglect saving for CapEx. Keep a cash cushion. ➡️One vacancy can derail a whole year’s profits. ➡️Leveraging a property manager’s expertise is an underrated way to keep your sanity. ➡️Location is more important that you think. ➡️ Tax advantages should be included when evaluating whether or not to invest in rentals. Real estate investing requires a strong stomach, but it is a proven way to build long-term wealth.

Crazy game. #onepride

Every portfolio should have its core positions. For me, these are the five positions I consider to be the bedrock of my holdings: 1. $VTI 2. $VXUS 3. $BND 4. $MSFT 5. $GOOGL
