      Thanks for the vote of confidence Tyler. I must agree that seeing and blogging about your Net Worth, dividend income, etc. has motivated us to do better and grow all of our assets. Maybe its because our results are now posted for everyone to see and we don't want to fail. Whatever the reason, I've seen some very positive results since we started blogging about a year ago.

      Thanks for stopping by. Wish you great success in return. AFFJ
