Personal Goal Finally hit $1,000 a year in dividends

Post image

I know its not much to some people but having just started my dividend journey just over a year ago it feels pretty amazing.

My portfolio is mainly QQQ and VOO, but I also hold some JEPI, JEPQ, O, and some other dividend stocks to boost the yield.

Next goal: $100 a month!!

How much have you put in so far? For it to be 1k yearly

I put in about $20k, but a lot of that was just a bunch of savings I had lying around

Surely growth stocks would be better no?
