New Background Page!

As part of my blog overhaul, I've completely rewritten my Background page to better reflect where I am today and where this journey is headed.

When I started this blog back in 2014, I was documenting our family's path toward Financial Independence. A lot has changed since then. Life took an unexpected turn with my divorce in 2024, and with it came a new set of challenges, priorities, and goals.

Rather than simply updating a few dates, I decided it was time to completely rewrite the page. It now tells the story of how my Financial Independence journey began, how it has evolved over the years, and what I'm working toward today.

Going forward, this blog will continue to focus on dividend investing, personal finance, and Financial Independence, but it will also include my experiences navigating life as a single father after divorce. I'll be sharing both the financial and personal lessons I've learned along the way, along with the occasional travel adventure as I work toward my goal of retiring in just four more years.

Whether you've been following this blog since the beginning or you're visiting for the first time, I invite you to check out the updated Background page to learn more about my story.

As always, thank you for following along and for being part of this incredible community. Your encouragement over the years is one of the biggest reasons I'm excited to begin this next chapter.

Blogroll Cleanup Complete!

Over the past few days, I spent some time reviewing my blogroll and have finally completed a much-needed cleanup.

Over the years, many excellent dividend investing and personal finance blogs have come and gone. Some bloggers reached financial independence and moved on, while others shifted to YouTube, social media, or simply stopped publishing altogether.

To keep the list useful for everyone, I've removed blogs that are no longer active or haven't published new content in over a year. My goal is to make it easier for readers to discover bloggers who are still actively sharing their investing journeys and financial insights.

If your blog was removed but you've recently become active again, or if you know of a quality dividend investing or personal finance blog that deserves to be included, please leave a comment or send me a message. I'd be happy to take a look and add it to the list.

Thanks to everyone who continues to share their experiences, successes, and lessons learned. One of the best parts of this community has always been learning from one another, and I look forward to discovering even more great blogs in the future!
