Welcome to my blog! Here at The Dividend Dudes blog will be geared toward financial independence through the passive income of dividends. Over the last year, I have endured many life-changing experiences. Let’s jump right into the meat and potatoes…What were the steps I took toward financial independence in the year 2020 at 33 years old? What could that be? Hmmm…Did I get rid of my gold digger wife (Que Gold Digger by Kayne West), get rid of my three thousand square foot home in an upper middle class suburban neighborhood near the capital city of North Carolina, or eliminating my fervent in-laws offering broken promises and overzealous spending habits that would have sequestered myself to a life of hard work until at least 65 years old or older…. Wow, I’m exhausted, just saying all of that! It was all of the above.
Over the last year, I have got a fresh new start on life hence the title. I am recently divorced, sold my home, and got rid of those nagging in-laws. Moreover, I have decided to take drastic measures shaping and shaving my finances to become financially free at the ripe ole’ age of 45. Time is not on my side, but I have 12 years to get my shit together while squirreling away a nest egg of over 1 million dollars, that should theoretically cover all of my expenses through dividends. My blog will be geared toward sharing my life experiences as a mid 30s dude starting over. I will share stock and investment strategies, frugal lifestyle measures, and anything about finances. With only 12 years remaining on this plan, Let’s take this exciting journey together and get the ball rolling!
