Goals update July 2014

I like to review the progress at least once a month to determine where I am with respect to meeting/achieving my goals.

These are the goals for 2014:

• Invest at least $25,000
  • With just 1 new purchase in July (MCD), I have invested $19,846.95 so far in 2014 until end of July.
  • With new investments planned in the near future, I should be able to meet this goal.
• Receive at least $1,500 in dividends
  • With an extra $187.47 in July dividends, the total for the year has hit $827.76 which represents 55.18%.
  • The new investments should continue to add some more dividends through the rest of the year and I hope to achieve this goal a little early and maybe exceed it by a margin.
• Achieve at least $2,000 in projected annual dividends
  • With the new purchases in the recent months and dividend increases announced, my current projected annual dividends stand at $1,792.98.
  • With additional purchases I hope to achieve this comfortably.

The goals page has been updated to reflect the progress until this month.
