It's still crazy to think it's been almost 3 years since took a leap, left my job and attempt to live off of my portfolio. These posts started on a whim, but I really appreciate everyone reading, commenting, and discussing (for and against). For those who tune in for the first time, this is a series of post where I update my journey of living off my Income portfolio (heavy leaned in Covered Call ETFs) and compares the drawdown to other popular ETFs portfolio such as VFV, XEQT, HYLD, and QQC to see how my portfolio would have performed if I stick to a more traditional holdings. Our main portfolio hit recorded ATM this month. There were higher times during May during ORCL spiked, but this is the highest portfolio has been during recording period. Not just our portoflio but all the test portfolio also all hit ATH. We did have a fairly successful month of option selling. I moved all the proceed into my registered account (adding into Core Holding portfolio). I had a dm asking if the option selling on the side affects the experiment a bit too much, which I had to agree. However, this is a real life portfolio, i would be doing a disservice to myself If I don't take a certain opportunity :( I'd just try to take it as taking odd jobs during retirement? and comparing it to if you were to do VFV and chill and don't do anything at all. Hope that make sense haha. At the moment, the plan is to try to max out the registered account room I have with the extra premium from option selling. While using the excess distribution from LE to build back up the cash holdings... which is lacking behind quite a bit. Ideally I'd want this to be closer to 30-40k for emergency. Life: Not much has changed from the past few months. The most exciting thing that happened is probably havign a youtuber reach out to make an episode about me. I think I kinda bombed the interview a bit, I felt like I could have explained myself a lot better haha. He hasnt upload the video yet, but I can post it here later if anyone is interested
