I Won!

I love reading books. You might know it already.

I love to read financial blogs too. "My Own Advisor" and "Your Ever growing income" are among the favourites. 

I found Mark's blog in 2016. After studying several personal finance books and blogs, I started DIY investments. "My Own Advisor" is about Financial Independence, Work On Own Terms or #FIWOOT. Who is more interested in your money than you? 

The person behind "Your Ever Growing Income" is Mr Henry Mah. He talks about income investing, i.e. dividend investing. 

He has already published four books. I own two of them already. 

He was doing a giveaway of his new book, "Salary For Life", on his blog. I joined in the contest. I also won the ebook along with four others!

I wanted to buy the book, and it came to me!!

I learned about DRIP or dividend reinvestment plan from him. 

You can also ask him for advice, and in return, he will ask you to donate to Salvation Army. 

Thanks to Mr Henry Mah and his blog!

More to invest and the blogs

Covid 19 cases are increasing in Ontario. Now only 10 people can be gathered in a place. Stock market went down last week.

New buys 

I bought few shares of BCE for my TFSA. There was some accumulated dividends in the RRSP, which I reinvested to buy Riocan shares (REI.UN). 

In Canada, BCE is one of the blue chip companies. It will give an annual dividend of $3.25 per share. My idea is to receive enough dividends to do DRIP

REI.UN pays monthly distribution. Price of the shares went down during the pandemic. The plan is to create the income to DRIP to gain more units. 

Finance blogs

I am a regular reader of the my own advisor. I learned about DIY investing and dividend investing basics from that blog. 

Another interesting blog is Mr. Money Mustache, or in short MMM. 

Then I stumbled on another blog this week; It has an interesting name!

Reversethecrush.com  I haven't read many posts from this one yet. The style is interesting. Author says his blog is an online business. It looks like the blog is making some income from advertisements.
