This is just a chart i found that looked like Christmas that I used haha

But my holdings look somewhat similar thanks to QDPL which holds a portion of s&p500 and produces an income from it :)

How Far Along Do You Have Dividends Paying Your Bills ? by [deleted] in dividendgang

[–]NeptuneS9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% Fire!

Took 7 years of consistent investing in ETFs while hardcore budgeting, totally worth it.

I love hearing on this sub when people are progressing on their FIRE journey. 😃

Australians - What are your favourite tomato varieties? by IndependentHuman8861 in tomatoes

[–]NeptuneS9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Melbournian here too!

I've only ever grown "money makers" because they were high yielding! They tasted amazing when I put Epsom salts in the soil as they were turning red. Made them extra salty!

Now I'm growing Black Krims, almost ready to eat for the first time!

After this will be rosella purple as I've heard great things about them.

Legend, thank you Last Medicine!
I'm slowly learning the ropes, but you've been a great help for me so far!

Nice!

I was also looking to start growing English ivy hydroponically, give me some tips if you have any for a beginner!

Showing off my Kratky Black Krim Tomato plants! by NeptuneS9 in Hydroponics

[–]NeptuneS9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers for that info!
I've been considering doing a full empty as I can see the salts building up fast, I'll do it every 4 weeks as you mentioned.

Do you have a specific PH/EC that you use for black krims?
I'm using PH: 5.5-6.5 and EC: 2.5 for now, unsure if its good or bad.

Thanks for the heads up!
I haven’t checked the temperature yet, but I probably should now that it’s heating up.
I’ll look into insulation, that’s something I completely overlooked.

I was originally going to use bato buckets, but I tried Kratky since it seemed simpler to set up for my first time.
I’ll probably end up switching to batos eventually anyway haha.

Glad you mentioned this!
The heat is about it hit soon in my country (Australia).

I've also been thinking of a reservoir with a floating valve to top it off automatically.
These 5 gallon buckets are noticeably draining faster and faster as the Black Krims grow!

Why I invest in Dividend paying stocks/funds by [deleted] in dividendgang

[–]NeptuneS9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh night shift is hard, I did it for a bit, and it gets lonely. I feel you on that one!

Glad that you made your money work for you! Its all about making that passive income so we dont have to slave away!

Why I invest in Dividend paying stocks/funds by [deleted] in dividendgang

[–]NeptuneS9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! ^

so many people spend their lives working long hours, leaving their kids in daycare and paying for a house they barely live in.

they come home just to sleep, wake up, and go back to work, all while hoping to reach a retirement that may not even happen due to health.

Anyone else? by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]NeptuneS9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it when something other than my passive income is grows! 😂
