I’m not reinvesting my dividends
Okay guys… don’t freak out, but I’m actually not investing my dividend this month!
I’ve spent so many years trying to save money and trying to optimize every dollar but I as I accumulate more and more money, I started wondering what the point of it all is, if I can’t enjoy it. I’ve already built a portfolio that can sustain me for YEARS, even without working.
So this month, I’m spending my monthly dividend of $188 at Sephora!
I wanted to write this post to remind everyone that life is all about balance. Trust me, I’ve had absolutely no balance before - not eating out, not buying ANYTHING for years, skipping lunch to save $20, absolutely no freedom. And for a while, that feeling kept me feeling very safe. But if I could go back in time, I wish I spent more time with my friends, I wish I went out with all my co-workers for drinks after a long shift, I wish I spent some money on hobbies.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great week, and do something to treat yourself this week. Since you’re on this app and reading my post, I already know you’re the type of person to take their finances seriously so I just want to remind you that you’re doing great and it’s ok to enjoy your money sometimes 🩶
