A bit about me
At 21; with some help from like-minded investors, I started investing small amounts on a monthly basis primarily with traditional Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs). After learning the ropes, I started passing on the knowledge that had been shared with me by helping other beginner investors enroll in DRIPs. Despite being bombarded with questions, it was a great experience, it shortened my investment learning curve, and made me a better investor. This experience planted the idea of one day starting a blog.
I eventually moved on from DRIPs and developed a plan to use dividend growth stocks to help finance early retirement (I don’t really have the personality to just stop working, so a better choice of words would be financial freedom vs. retirement). It was around this time that I started the blog.
