One Year Anniversary for the Child's Stock Investment Portfolio

| Stocks | 8 seen

Today, on July 13th, we are celebrating both 1-year anniversaries for our baby daughter and her stock investment portfolio.

In today's article, I will shed some light on the second (investment portfolio) a year after.

Originally I come up with a plan to build a high-yield $10,000 child investment portfolio by the time our baby girl will turn 2. (July 2020). Right now we are looking at $80-$100 monthly dividends by the time she will turn 2.  

Since July 2018 we have invested $5,485.07 in 8 stocks. In our first year, we have generated a dividend income of $241.36 ($71.12 back in 2018; $170.14 in 2019). That's about 4.4% dividend yield.

Unfortunately, we have experienced a -4.75% value drop, luckily dividends level things up, and after the first year, the value + dividends = -0.13%.

Plans / Goals for Second child's Stock Investment anniversary

We are looking on about invested $10.000 by July 2020, our goal is to reach on the average $110/mo from dividend income.

For the next year, I will look for more stocks on which we could sell options to generate additional income, and boost our dividend income portfolio for baby daughter.
