As you can see, there was a boost right in late 2020/2021. After the market dipped due to Covid, I had moved some cash into stocks which rebounded nicely.
Pace has generally picked up and I can feel the compound interest kicking in.
While my portfolio has been "bumpy" ever since late February, my dividend stocks have hold up well, still being in the green.
I am on track to rake in around 20K in dividends this year. Next year could be the first year where I could practically live off dividends.
Being the lucky son of a gun that I am, I found a new six-figure job I actually enjoy, so I may fly past FI soon.
I haven't checked yet what my options are in terms of part-time, etc. but I am still looking at pumping the breaks a bit.
