Total dividends for the month of August: $109.78

One of my many Goals is to receive $2,000 in dividends for this year.

I am 46% complete in reaching my goal. At this rate it looks like I will not make this goal I set out for myself. That's OK. 

Also, don't forget to check out my Dividend Income page which shows the total income by month.

Goal Reached

I am happy to announce that I reached my net worth goal of $70k yesterday. I actually did not think I was going to make that goal this year. However, not only did I make it, but I am going to surpass it by a wide margin.

I use mint to keep track of all my accounts. I love that website.

Here we have all my assets and debts.

I love the way this graph looks. Just need to work on getting rid of my debts. I started investing and saving on Aug 2013. You can see how at that point my net worth has been taking off.

Since I reached this goal. I am going to put a new goal for my net worth. By the end of the year I want to pass $80k, I think I have a good shot as long I continue to save/invest as well as pay down the debt.

You can check out my other goals Here. I also updated it with the new goal.

Thank you to all my readers for the support and comments.

Here we see that DE is very much undervalue. We also see that projected EPS is on a downtrend. I am not worry about this because people got to eat. Therefore farmers will need DE.

Here is a 5 year graph.

Here we have a 5 year est. tot. ret. of 12.6%

This shows us that DE is oversold with its RSI at 29.

Here we show that the 5 year yield is at the highest point right now.

Here we have the dividend growth.
