I have been investing for dividends for two and a half years, and it has been an incredible experience. Going from earning a few cents a month to over $600 is eye-opening.

And like everything in life, sometimes it is good to take a break and reflect. I want to recount how I got here. What information helped me start my journey?

Luckily, I have been documenting my path to financial independence. I am a writer and a dividend investor—time to go back and review what I wrote over a year ago. What was going through my mind back then?

As a writer, it is hard to rewrite the same material because you are a different person every day; that is why journaling is so powerful. With that, I present a quick review of some of my works from the last year. Enjoy.
