Just spent the last month in a hectic world of remodel insanity.   Had  the floors refinished, so we spent a week in an extended stay hotel.   I am at the point of hating eating at any restaurant anywhere.  Usually, I see it as a treat.  Now, dining out is what you do when you have no kitchen.  Now that I have a remodeled one, I have a re-inspired motivation to cook and enjoy kicking back at home.  It all has made me keenly aware of prioritizing my time.   I only have so much time for so much life.  A always wanted to run this fi ..read more

 What a completely hectic month.  I spent the past 5 weeks living without a kitchen ond one of two bathrooms as we are going through a very overdue remodel.   Last month I sowed a picture of the demo.   Now we are about 95% done.  Phew.  Here's a look Now we are down to the tile in the 2nd bathroom, refinishing my 103 year old fir floors, and resurfacing the deck.  This is not cheap.  But thanks to my strong portfolio, I can pay for it and still have a retirement.   Meanwhile, the dividend still came in like clockwork.&nb ..read more

 January's been a hectic month.  That's just peanuts next to February, as we are into the middle of remodeling our kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Currently in rough in stage with the plumbing and next comes electrical. There is nothing like living with only a toaster oven and microwave.  The world is my oyster.. I can't wait for the finished product as I will ramp up posting recipes online.   I actually want to start up a new food blog as well as a vinyl blog about new records and cool oddities in the record world.   Combining them all here is messy.  &n ..read more

 Sorry for the delay folks.  Been really busy getting ready for life with no kitchen and one of our two bathrooms.  suddenly January is almost over and i have not posted.  EEK!    Meanwhile, here is our street covered with 1 solid inch of ice. I hung onto the car to prevent sliding down a half block. Here goes! DIVIDEND INCOME Another month of knocking it out of the park and speeding head first towards financial independence.  In December I got 59 payments that added up to $2,665.74.   That's a 25.88% increase over December 2021's $2,117.71&nbs ..read more

 I will sound like a broken record as to why I have not blogged in a month again.    Another SUPER busy month just flew by... Really.  Let me explain....   Our home, a cute little 1918 craftsman bungalow, has been showing some signs of wear and tear over the past couple years.  The original Douglas Fir floors are really beat up, the main floor bathroom tub looks beaten.  The kitchen countertop plywood underlayment is rotting, so the sink will soon fall onto the floor, the fridge is dying, and the old fridge is only 30" wide, so replacing it has ..read more

Howdy folks!  I'm Back.    It's been a while and I apologize for skipping the past 6 weeks.    I have been quite busy with projects on my home, dealing with the new school year, caring for my mom who entered hospice, and simply ran out of time in life to even remotely blog. Most of my time was spent releasing my music.  I put out a single and 3 albums. One album of electronic music, one album of downtempo music, and a Halloween compilation.   The comp had a song called "October" that had 63K plays.   That's a big leap over having less than 200 ..read more

 I'm overdue updating everyone with the stock purchases I've been making.  So this will be a multi month posting. My goal is to purchase shares in companies that pay a dividend to create passive income.  Not only pay dividends, but companies that regularly increase these dividends.  And not just pay dividends and increase them regularly, but also have room to increase that dividend on a regular basis.     If a company is around 60% or under in paying out dividends from their total income, then they have room to grow.   Once the payout ratio gets too ..read more

Hello everybody.  First of all, I'd like to apologize for not posting for the previous month.  The rest of life took all the time I had to make any posts.  Half the month was spent in Hawaii, and the time around that was spent doing all the work releasing three albums and one single.   This is hard not to stare at. Hawaii is our family go to for fun in the sun.  After being there many times, I now know exactly what I want to do and maximize my time there.   It really comes down to which beach I body surf at and what places I eat at.   On ..read more

It's been a crazy busy month and so this blog was neglected.  My apologies.  I've been occupied with after work gardening, making music, long walks, and watching baseball.  Fun stuff.  And gaining some listeners on Spotify.   Yipes - 666 listeners.  Better watch my back! Meanwhile, I get paid passive income through dividends on companies I own a tiny fraction of.  As I earn these dividends, I reinvest to increase the next payout.  And on and on and on. I also add at least $1,000 month in cash to these dividends to build my positions. The result o ..read more
