ETF Dividend Portfolio

The ETF Portfolio was started in September of 2023 with the goal of showing how easy it is to get started with investing and how quickly it can grow with time, patience, perseverance and relentlessness!

It started as a Vanguard portfolio of ETFs and index funds but has since expanded. I'll probably end up with 8 to 12 ETFs from providers like Vanguard, Betashares, JP Morgan, NEOS and iShares.

Each month I share the value of the ETF dividend portfolio and what shares were bought or sold. I don't think there'll be too many sell updates though as I plan to hold and add to these forever.

I will usually add between $500 and $1,000 to the ETF portfolio every month, plus I'll reinvest all dividends. I believe this is the minimum amount you have to invest if you ever want to be free. You should be adding much more if you want freedom within the next ten years. I'm also still adding a similar amount to my Australian stocks portfolio and my International stocks portfolio every month.

ETF Portfolio Goals

I need goals to work towards. You should try it too.

ETF GOAL ONE: $2000 per year in dividends (Set in November 2023)
2025: After 3 months it is $371.59 which is about 18% of the $2,000 goal this year. Three months is 25% of twelve months so I'm running a little behind so far.
2024: A total of $725.85 = 36% of $2,000 goal.
2023: I received $102.68 worth of dividends from ETFs which is about 5% of my goal achieved. So technically that's a fail but I've only just started.

ETF GOAL TWO: $2000 per month in dividends
ETF GOAL THREE: $2000 per week in dividends
ETF GOAL FOUR: $2000 per day in dividends
ETF GOAL FIVE: Buy my own deserted island and rule over it with an iron fist! lol
