December 2020 Dividend Income
Even with all of the fake news media distractions, delusions, and propaganda going on, we must focus on building wealth, accounting it and investing it for the future. I am not saying stocks are the only way, there are many forms of assets! The essential principle function of wealth (assets) is to bring consistent and growing flows of capital to prosper our lives with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It’s never been more important on information you digest/believe as we are in informational warfare. I enjoy publishing these monthly dividend income reports as I have gained a much better understanding in how much of my passive income is coming in every month and how much it is growing over time. For the month of December I have received a total of 22 diversified direct deposits in the form of dividends straight to my brokerage account. This is not to brag, but to motivate and inspire!
