2019 continues to be a great year, financially, for our family. After 10 years of being at home to care for our kids, my wife went back to work part-time last month. It was completed unplanned as she wasn't even looking for employment! Out of the blue, a friend of hers called her up and asked her if she would be interested in joining their team on a part-time basis. And the best part, the hours were flexible so could could simply work around her mommy duties.
So this past month, in addition to the normal dividends from our family's dividend stocks portfolio, we got two unexpected paychecks. Normally, I would say that we would put that extra money towards building up our savings and investments but we really need to replace a 14 year old vehicle that will need tires and a milestone maintenance soon. We are therefore hoping to buy our replacement vehicle before those two items come due. Stay tuned for a possible post on what vehicle we decide to go with. Hint: we are interested in a fuel efficient family car. :)
Back to the dividends recap, below is a list of the dividends/partnership distributions that we received from our family's dividend stocks portfolio – February 2019 (recap).

A solid month. T is dropping. Will you add more?
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, keep those dividends coming in.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good month AFFJ! $350 is a nice chunk. I need to look into KMI/ETP or some of the other midstream companies. I like the higher yield but KMI burned me/I burned myself with the dividend cut a few years ago so I've been wary of getting back in. We ended up with $314 in dividends during February and we're now on track to get $300 in the first and second month of every quarter and over $1k in the third month of every quarter so I'm pretty stoked to see that.

ReplyDeleteIts great when your spouse go's to work and has the option to work flexible hours around the kids.
A great month of dividends as well. I keep debating vz or T.
T's debt load is huge though and i dunno if they should create a streaming service, competing with netflix and disney.
keep it up, good luck on the car search
AFFJ -
