How would YOU spend $543/Month guiltfree money on?
I have published a new portfolio update! 🚀 I share the latest progress on our $1.3 million investment portfolio, built primarily with just two globally diversified ETFs: XEQT and VT. Our strategy remains incredibly simple—buy low-cost index funds/ETFs, stay globally diversified, and keep investing consistently for the long term. This quarter marked a new milestone as XEQT generated nearly $9,000 in dividend income, our highest quarterly dividend payout ever! I walk through the portfolio's latest performance, explain why XEQT continues to be one of our core holdings, and show exactly how we put those dividends to work. Rather than spending the entire payout, I used a portion to accelerate our mortgage payoff, while reinvesting the rest to purchase even more XEQT shares. I also share an update on the Wealthsimple Un-Real Deal promotion. After successfully enrolling, we're now receiving approximately $543 per month in cashback reward for the next five years. Since this isn't income we rely on for our financial plan, it has become a fun source of guilt-free discretionary investing (or spending!). One important change you'll notice in these updates: the portfolio represents our entire household's investments, rather than just my own accounts. A few years ago, I only shared my personal portfolio. Since then, we've consolidated our investments, continued making regular contributions, reinvested almost every dividend, and benefited from a strong bull market. Watching the portfolio grow from where it started has been incredibly rewarding and reinforces my belief that consistency often matters more than complexity. Whether you're interested in ETF investing, dividend growth, financial independence, or simply seeing what a long-term index investing journey looks like, I hope you'll enjoy following along.😊 Now for a fun question: 😃 If you suddenly had an extra $543 every month that didn't affect your financial goals, would you: 💰 invest it, ✈️ travel, 🍽️ enjoy more experiences, 🎮 buy hobbies or gadgets, ❤️ donate it, or something completely different? I'd love to hear what your "guilt-free money" would go toward! 🫡 Thanks a lot to everyone who follows and comments here on Blossom and YouTube..It means a lot to me. https://youtu.be/PQS0sLJyBLM
