As we enter 2025, it's the perfect time to reflect on our financial journey and set an exciting new goal. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching dividends grow year after year. Today, I want to share our progress over the past few years and set a new milestone: achieving a $23,000 dividend goal by the end of 2025.

Our portfolio showed impressive growth compared to previous years:
