Sometimes Life Happens

When you are 21 years old, sometimes life happens. College happens, family emergencies happen, summer ends and then work plus 21 credits of school happen. Ive missed out on a few of my normal posts due to life happening in the last month or so. 

No matter how tough it gets I know that it will always get better. I am so fortunate to have my friends and family with my. I am fortunately able to attend a great university and fortunate enough to be able to write this blog. So while yes an unexpected break took place please know that sooner than you expect Div Kid will be back to normal. I really just need to settle into my new schedule and get acclimated to college life again. Thank you for sticking with me and look for new updates this week on; July Incomes and Expenses, Personal post #3 and much more!

I am a 21 year old kid who seeks to create a life of financial independence via passive income. The accumulation and growth of quality dividend yielding stocks will be the main source of income and this is my journey.

Recent Purchases: July

With July having come and gone I can now tell you the ways I was able to deploy capital in order to create cash flow! Earlier in the month I showed you all my watch list and in total I was able to deploy $1309.69! This is the first time I have tallied the total invested in a given month and I must say I am quite surprised. Unfortunately though this will not continue. 

The last week in July was my last regular paycheck for the summer. I will have $0 in regular earned income until I return to school and when I return my income from my job as an RA should be minimal. Because of this I have now decided to consider a part time job for this coming semester. This would be a significant addition though as I already am taking 21 credits, have a part time job as an RA and enjoy being a normal college student every now and again. The possibility is there but more consideration is needed.

I have decided that due to the amount of transactions I make I will begin posting purchase updates at the end of each month rather than along the way. This will make updating you all easier for me and my updates will be (in my opinion) more worth while.

So here are the companies I purchased this July.

Mostly smaller purchases this month. I decided to mix in traditional DGI holdings with some other popularity plays. These positions are undoubtedly 'starters' as I would like to own more equity in many of these companies. My shares in V, KO and SBUX came during the epitome of Greek drama. My only issue is I wish I bough more shares!

What have you been buying lately?

Do we share any purchases?

Do you dollar cost average into your positions?
