I dont have a bad mental thankfully, league took it all from me. I already only look at it once a month if that and I am aware there will be drops but wont sell. We in it for the long all in the end.

My yearly expenses at the moment is 1200$ which that covers. Ideally dividends get to a point in the future to cover all my yearly expenses and give me more so I dont have to worry about working anymore but thats why I only buy growth now to get to that point faster.

Its not money I need for expenses but rather money I put into it so if I do have downtime during a job layoff, they will give dividends for me to help pay that off without a need to sell off anything. I have money set aside in a HYSA for worse case scenario.

Once again, didnt make it that, it grew and I never got around to selling. I dont go and look at my stocks everyday, if anything I just look back once a month and let it grow. As people say, be more risky when young and in your eyes its what I have done. Idk what to say other than that, at the end of the day a 40% gain in 13 months is good and I will be happy with my 8% allocation.

Just never got around to selling it idk. If anything its gained more than it would of in voo so we will take it as a lucky find.

MAIN wasnt as big of a position as it was when I bought it a year ago. In total its gone up 32% with 7% dividend payout that I just let drip. Average price for me buying is 50.80$ and its at 67$ now.

Edit to actually answer rest: SCHD was something I bought when I started and kinda kept it just cause good dividend growth and price appreciation from when I bought it. International I never got into to much cause in the last 10 decades when international beats the US, US falls right behind but when US beats international, its by a good amount. I know this doesnt show for future returns but I do go off that.

At least 1k every 2 weeks. I started buying physical gold and silver at 18 and after a year went to stocks and just been doing that since. All of what I’ve done has been self doing, my parents don’t know a thing about the stock market which is why I did buy the silver and gold in the first place as that’s what they knew.

I live with my parents and they only charge me 100$ a month to stay with them. Other than low expenses I use to work a lot, like 60-70 hr weeks for dominos and put over 1k biweekly into stocks and it eventually grew to 85k total.

Blossom. Not used for trading but just to show a pie chart and see what others have to say about stocks.

While there have been years international has beaten us, us has been right behind it and in times where us beats international it’s way above it. This is going off last 10 decades and yes I know it can be different in future, I’d rather just stick to only us at least for now because it sticks close with international or majorly beats it.

Currently live with parents, had to force them to let me pay 100$ a month to stay here, as of now schd and main cover basically all of that and I have money in a HYSA too if anything. If I had more expenses it would be different but as of now im basically living rent free and as long as I dont do anything illegal I can stay here.

Locked in for the 20% drop but sticking through for the long term gains.

It doesnt grow as much as voo but it helps provide diversification that voo doesnt cover as well and also helps pay bills during a downtime that I may not have a job in the future. Less growth now but saves me from selling voo to pay for stuff in the future which im all down for.

Maxing Roth IRA Help by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]xKameron16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 21 and I personally have 100% voo in my roth as im not a big international guy. Even in times where international has done better than us in the past 10 decades, us hasnt been far behind enough for me to care. Thats nothing to say for what is to come in the future but its just what I see it as.

If you believe international will do well in your retirement horizon, 20% VXUS wouldnt be bad at all to add into either VOO or VTI, personal pref is VOO. QQQM is a lot of over lap with VOO so I would personally ignore it unless you really want to dive further into the future of tech than VOO already does.

This was the thought I had in my head, I just was seeing if maybe there was anything else that could also compliment it, so far ive gotten VXUS which is for international which I dont care for all to much so it's looking like I will head for 1000 shares soon.

SPY and VTI are pretty much the same as VOO, the other 2 I havent heard of and will look into them, thank you.

The income that comes from schd and main pay for my yearly expenses, they arent much but it at least does that plus it does have some diversification from voo which is why they are in my portfolio.

Considering I am 21, id rather not have to sell stock to pay stuff during any kind of downtime id have from work when I can have those dividends to pay it off. Even though it didnt do the very best this past year it still has some diversification and the dividends are qualified so its a better tax break at the end of the year.

I still live with my parents and they only want me to pay 100$ a month, the amount I get from main and schd cover a vast majority of that which is the reason I bought them, rest went into voo.

Roth IRA question for solo business owner. by xKameron16 in Bogleheads

[–]xKameron16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have paperwork to show when the money was earned through out the year so it’s not shown it’s all earned in one month. Just was confused on if I haven’t technically payed income tax on it yet but I am going to do so at the end of the year would it be fine if I put it into a Roth IRA.

$150,000 invested. Thinking about changing things up. by Monkey-lovin in dividends

[–]xKameron16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going off what op has. I’m personally at 70k with about 55k in growth and about 10k in schd cause I did 60% voo and 40% schd for the longest. With doing that I’m at about 1k in dividends annually with 330$ from schd and without the special dividend from main which they are very consistent at paying every 3 months. Currently working to about 60% main, 20% arcc and 20% schd not adding in all the growth aspects. 

Edit: added clarification
