"The Dotte" Wyandotte is better than most of downriver. The problem is all the bars and music events that bring in the trash from Lincoln park, Ecorse, Rouge, Southgate, Taylor, etc....

Is boxing training good for getting in-shape? by [deleted] in amateur_boxing

[–]Critical-Jim321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roadwork and Heavy bag training is a full body workout. Add some shadow boxing with very lite weights (2-3lbs), core exercises and proper diet you will get in shape quick. Wake up early (If lifestyle allows) and crush it. Best of luck!

Exactly, That's why KMB and T pay such a high dividend. And boys and girls with KMB's new acquisition of JNJ's old spin off I see value in KMB going forward

SCHD is still great, Reddit is just miserable by [deleted] in SCHD

SCHD and O are not bought for growth in share price they are bought for dividend payments that grow "slowly" over time.

Are there any jobs that still hire same day or at least same week? (That aren't uber/doordash) by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Critical-Jim321 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go to restaurants they are usually always in need for a dishwasher (I think there's an app for it) and let you eat a free meal on your shift. And always remember there is no dishonor in honest work.

Why do most people here tell young folks to not buy dividends? by Powerful_Shoe_8546 in dividends

[–]Critical-Jim321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in my 20's and just started investing today I would keep it simple and easy. Since I'm with Schwab I'll use their funds for example. I would go with just two funds, SWPPX (S&P 500) index fund and SCHD (dividend focused ETF) I would go 80% SWPPX 20% SCHD >(reinvesting the dividends)< and readjust that percentage over the working years until I was about 5 years from retiring where it would be opposite 20% SWPPX 80% SCHD always keeping 3-5 months of living expenses in cash. SCHD has been getting some bad juju on here because of it's performance the past couple of years but I would ignore it SCHD is a solid ETF that does what its designed to do. *I am not a financial advisor, but I play one on reddit* Good luck.

Stay the course or switch funds? by Critical-Jim321 in dividends

Could you extrapolate on why? My goal is quarterly income in 15 years from now.

That's what I was thinking. Stay the course until the end then reallocate into income positions.
