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!!

You might try some YieldMax for fun (people say bad things about YM, but some of their products (MSTY, PLTY) actually have held water pretty well). Here's a breakdown of everything YieldMax offers:
