Making Over $500 a Month in Passive Income from Stocks – See Inside Our Stock Portfolio (Ep. 14)

Our Rich Journey – Making Over $500 a Month in Passive Income from Stocks – See Inside Our Stock Portfolio (Ep. 14): It's August and time to go back into our stock portfolio and show you how it has been performing. We began this particular portfolio in March of 2020 by investing $5,000 into three different investments. Each month after that, we invested another $1,200 into our portfolio. And each month, we've opened up our portfolio and shared the performance of our investments. We're doing that again in this video, but we're also addressing the topic of investing for passive income – specifically, how we created a portfolio that has generated more than $500 a month in passive income for the past 17 months.

I started watching your videos about 6 months ago and adjusted our investment strategy. In the last 6 months, we've generated enough to replace one of my paychecks! It's a small first step but it's very tangible and I feel like we can actually get to the point where our investments are replacing all of our paychecks. Thank you for sharing!

I started my FIRE journey at $26k in assets. mostly in my 401k, last June 2020. I just crossed the $70k milestone in just 15 months! With consistent investment, staying focused! On a single income! You guys are a huge inspiration!! I share my updates monthly too, so when I reach the $1M milestone I can come back and have reference to every step of the journey! Thanks for another great video!

I retired 14 years ago at 57. No pension, but later got SS. My stash has doubled. I'm a low spender, but have all I want. The dividends on my 70/30 portfolio more than pay the expenses. I reinvest what I don't spend. I've increased charity giving since the pandemic inasmuch as I've done so well. I've been a happy subscriber to your channel for many years.

I think these types of videos where you show us how you are investing instead of just talking theoretically has a massive role in building your credibility. Keep it up!

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: "the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".

Because of you guys, I started investing. I grew up in a poor refugee family. No one taught me about finances or investments. My portfolio is healthy thanks to you guys! Also, it’s amazing to see POCs represented here in this space. Super important and amazing that you guys put out content. Keep doing it!

[M.Campbell]

You both are great! The internet is just flooded with financial advice for people who already have high incomes, while there is relatively little for people who have lower incomes or are starting small. It's frustrating. Thank you for the useful and realistic information and advice.

You're the ones that first educated me about a HSA account. From a year ago that account is up 30% at $9000.00. Thank you for the financial education!

About a year ago...I watched a video from you and was so motivated I began to use your guidance from your budget tool and invested with VTSAX and ETF and a couple of stocks....almost a year and I have made more than I ever imagined...I have saved so much and my money continues to grow by the minute...thanks so much

What platform do you use to invest? I couldn't find those funds in Robinhood.

[deemiller]

Question please: In addition to the dividend reinvestment, did you have a set amount of money you both invested?

[sidandsof]

Ahh. I get it! Simple understandings for the everyday person pursuing FI. Keep the simplicity coming. 💸

[saeedkanuga]

You two are so like minded and practical. All your videos are interesting .😊

[lamonttaylor]

I invest 30% in target retirement fund and 70% into fidelity 500 index fund.

[arigutman]

Conceptually, I am loving how you two are doing this channel together! Great video and it goes without saying, exceptional gains in passive income from dividend investing!

[genevievecontreras]

Enrolling in your course today! My hubby is finally on board to go all in with the FIRE lifestyle. I am really happy for your family and hope my husband can be at home with our kids like Amon is. Also, I loved Portugal so much when I visited there.
