๐Ÿ’ญ My Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญ

I made some rebalances this month. A couple of companies wont be staying in for the journey anymore but we do have a new one joining the pack; welcome PepsiCo Inc (PEP)! What a month it has been... Murder hornets running rampant, BLM protests, and Coronavirus still without a vaccine. It's been insane but the portfolio has been holding in there. Another new record for the highest dividend was recorded; AT&T (T) with $0.37. The portfolio also passed its first major goal, 1 thousand dollars! Every month that passes is another month that I get closer to financial independence.
