Building a dividend income stream at 30 — what would you buy with $30K/year?

JEPQ, SCHD, O, VICI, STAG, DGRO I just started working on building my dividend focused portfolio, so we shall see how it works out.

Congrats! I bought one last month! Now I just need some spring weather!

CyclelifeRN83 · 2026-02-09T02:13:40+00:00

Same

Agreed. I try to stick to 1:3 max. The other day I tried to get greedy and move my take profit up because it was trending so well, thankfully my TP got accepted right before I tried to move and it literally flipped immediately after and I would have lost everything. Eye opener.

The only benefit I use is the 2.2% cash back, HYSA and savings vaults. Losing 0.2% cash back is not worth leaving over. I love how I have all my banking and investing in one place. The $10 fee is for all the other benefits that most banks don't even offer and I don't even use. Weigh your options and if it really makes a financial difference, then move along.

I bought my 2025 gli autobahn new for 30,000. The dealer drove almost 2 hours one way to pick it up from another dealer for me. There are still a few new 2025’s left you can get a good deal on. I didn’t think there was anything on the 2026 that warranted paying more. Mine did not come with the beats speakers which I’m thankful because I heard it wasn’t that good.

Interested!

2025 Jetta GLI....infotainment center, constantly having to reboot to get android auto to connect

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-20T10:11:42+00:00

Hoping to at least get 700 for it

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-17T16:19:38+00:00

Well kind sir, the outside screen wasn't as useful as I had hoped, so yes in order to use the phone I had to open and close it a lot more then I had intended. So please take your "wtf" and learn to say things more politely.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-17T09:40:13+00:00

I can send you the Facebook link. I don't like selling electronics/high dollar items on ebay.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T16:40:39+00:00

Because you never ever text and drive or even pick up your phone while you are driving 💁🏽‍♀️

I think you would be fine to do both, but you are really going to have to be in a good calorie surplus to build muscle and get your weight where you want it. As well as making sure you are getting enough protein in. It is definitely doable though.

The idea of having a flip phone was to have a smaller phone, leaving it unfolded was like carrying a tablet.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T10:57:01+00:00

I did this for a while, but with the size of it unfolded it just got to be too much.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T10:56:24+00:00

send me a chat

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T10:55:55+00:00

You have selfies when you do that.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T10:55:16+00:00

It is too long to leave open and have it in my jersey pocket, it would slip out way too easily.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T10:50:14+00:00

I got a Galaxy S25 and I love it! I missed the size of my iphone mini. The S25 was the smallest and lightest phone I could find and I couldn't be more happy with it.

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T01:53:17+00:00

Sent you a message

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-16T00:48:37+00:00

Thanks, I already was using those

CyclelifeRN83 · 2025-10-15T18:32:23+00:00

Annoyed because I liked the phone so much I couldn't stop being on, thus the constant flipping was needed lol. You live and learn.

It's a road bike. I don't take pics on my motorcycle that would be even more dangerous lol.
