RV-On-Fire

We have officially purchased our new RV. Well, new to us at least. More on that in a minute. If you remember, we previously lived in a 40’ diesel pusher. It was literally a home on wheels. To give you an idea of what we had going on back then, here are some of the features our old rig had to offer. King bed, 1 1/2 bathrooms, 3 air conditioners, residential refrigerator, 4 burner stove,…

Well, I didn’t intend to go this long in-between posts. We have had a very busy month! On top of that I had some issues with the website that are still being worked out. Then I tried to change our plan and that really messed everything up. If things look a little different that would be because the website reverted back to our 2022 data. I have been slowing rebuilding it as time allows, but it’s…

Welcome back for another dividend portfolio update! Since our last update we have continued to execute on our plan of making regularly scheduled contributions. The markets continue to hit all time highs so it’s been slim pickings for individual stocks. However, there are some opportunities out there. With the current environment we have mostly stuck to adding shares to our ETF positions in SCHD,…

Yes, we still have an our dividend portfolio. It’s been over 10 months since we last gave an update on our dividend portfolio. Like everything else during that time it just wasn’t top of mind and took a back seat. However, we never stopped investing and our portfolio continues to grow. With the change in our change of lifestyle we needed to make some adjustments to our approach to this…

Sitting on a flight to Washington seems like a good time to write our mid-year financial update blog. Might as well take advantage of the boredom and pass the time in a constructive way. In January we gave our year end financial update of our portfolio. You can find that blog here if you are interested in a recap. The most amazing part of that update was that despite the outflow of cash and…

Hello there! Yep, we are still here! It has been so long since we have had a moment to even think about this blog. We don’t even know where to start so let’s just dive in and see where we go. Ever since we moved back into a house it has been one thing after another. But, not in a bad way. We have just been preoccupied with the seemingly endless amount of chores and maintenance of our property.…

Howdy ya’ll!! It’s a new year and things are getting back to normal. It’s a new normal and a new routine, but we sure are loving every minute. It’s getting downright cold here in north central Texas! It’s moments like this where we do not miss living in our RV. Plywood and fiberglass was never conducive to a warm environment in freezing temperatures. The only thing worse than a full shitter…

Hello there! It’s been awhile since we have posted a blog. It’s been even longer since we posted a blog that wasn’t a financial update of some sort. Over eleven months as a matter of fact. In that blog we wrote about buying our property in Texas and being excited to start building our home. Little did we know at the time we were in for a wild ride. As we started our home building journey it…

Welcome to our September 2024 dividend portfolio update. This month was a continuation the last couple of months with the markets eventually heading higher after a sluggish start. The only difference this month was that we hit a point on one of our positions where it was time to cut bait and run. That position was 3M (MMM). After looking at some of the personal finance folks on social media it…
