Weekly Roundup - January 18, 2014

It was yet another busy week for myself.  I had to head back to work and away from home Monday afternoon.  And of course that meant lots of work right away and then drill then a break and then lots of work again.  But this just continues to reinforce how badly I want to reach FI as soon as possible, yesterday preferably, today would be nice, but tomorrow would be fine too.  Eventually that day will come when my passive income sources exceed my expenses with an adequate margin of safety, but until then I'll just keep chugging along and investing capital into companies that continue to pay higher dividends year in and year out.  Due to work being so busy there wasn't much in the form of blogposts this past week but things are settled down and I should get back to my regular posting schedule soon.  I did finally get to review how I did on my goals for 2013 and it was a big win in a lot of areas but there were some big misses as well.  I'm not discouraged though and this just helps to fuel my desire to do better in 2014.

We haven't made an offer on a rental property just yet, although I think that's a good thing.  My wife is helping to keep me grounded a bit on moving forward with this because I'd go all in if I could find the right properties.  We still have some properties in mind and I'm continuing to be on the look for other possibilities but things get difficult since I work out of town.  It makes moving quickly on properties very hard because I'm not going to put an offer in unseen.  We'll see how things go but a rental property is definitely something I'd like to get in 2014.

Thanks again to everyone that has stopped by, commented or shared any posts from Passive-Income-Pursuit this past week.  I truly appreciate it and couldn't help spread the word about dividend growth investing or financial independence without your help.

Now on to the links!

    1. Bryan,

      No problem. I really like to get the background stories on my favorite bloggers. The journey to financial independence usually comes from a different starting point for everyone and it's always interesting to see what it is that spurred someone else to strive for it.

      Thanks for stopping by!
