Capital Southwest Corporation (CSWC) Another episode of Dividend Digest is now live. Check out CSWC and their 6.92% Div. Yield!

Gladstone Commercial Corporation (GOOD) Time for some more Dividend Digest! Today we will be looking at Gladstone Commercial Corporation. They have a 7.84% dividend yield and they make these payments monthly. I recently changed my M1 Finance allocation to include more of this stock. I am hoping it will provide me with more passive income. Check out the video for all the info and examples!

BlackRock Dividend Yield I have started a new series called "Dividend Digest". I will be going over different stocks/funds that I have researched or that I actually own. In this first video, I am reviewing and giving an example using BlackRock Capital Investment Corp (BKCC). Hopefully, this video is informative and entertaining to watch. I plan to be creating a lot more of these in the future!

Weekly Update // Week Of 11.19.18 A down week overall. It was also a short market week because of Thanksgiving. Meaning, one less day to make gains/losses. I made a video like I did for my portfolio overview in hopes that it would keep things streamlined for you guys. So let me know if you like the video enjoyed the video and what should change or what you would like to see more of!

How Does Someone Even Navigate The Acorns Website? I'm glad you asked! (Did anyone ask? I don't know for sure but here is an answer just in case!) I have made a video that shows and explains what features are available on the Acorns desktop platform. There are some features available on the desktop app that are not on the mobile app. Because of this, I believe there are some benefits to logging in and actually checking the desktop version sometimes instead of just sticking to the app on your smart device. That isn't to say that the mobile version is worse, but sometimes you just like to gather a little more information!

Let's Look At The Portfolios! I have finally made a video really digging into what my portfolios are looking like and how the money is allocated within my portfolios. This video is the initial posting and gives an overview of what to expect from my upcoming videos and what to watch for. I hope these videos will be fun to watch as these investments grow and change over time! I really want to make a video once a week or maybe twice a month depending on how much feedback and change happens. This will help keep continuity among all my social media platforms; this blog, Instagram, and YouTube itself.

Ready To Get More From Your Purchases? Dosh is a new app that I recently discovered that gives cash back for shopping at local stores. The rewards are in the form of cash back and is a percentage of your total purchase. Most of the rewards are between 1-5% back. Today I was out getting Pizza Hut (which is also a vendor for  Bumped  ) so I figured I would double dip on my rewards and use Dosh as well. My coworkers even pitched in some cash so I was able to make the large purchase off my card, to generate a larger transaction. You guy will surely want to add this app to your collection of cash back and rewards apps, because it is free, offers a nice referral bonus, and gives back for the purchasing you were likely already doing. View the video below as I give an explanation of how the app works and how to utilize it!

What If A Robot Could Help You Invest? Fidelity has released a platform that allows you to take advantage of just that. Fidelity Go is a platform that can be used to help identify what your financial risks and goals are and then helps monitor them for you. This is great for those of us that do not have enough time to constantly monitor our own investments, or simply do not have enough experience and knowledge in the market to do so ourselves. I believe Fidelity Go is a great tool for beginner to start using should they want to start their investing journey with a credible company. I only discovered Fidelity Go at the beginning or October and I am already excited to see where this portfolio will be in 5 years time. Check out the video below for an explanation on the Fidelity Go platform and how you can take advantage of it!

Too Busy To Worry About Investing? Acorns has made it extremely easy to help you invest behind the scenes. You do not need to do much or get too involved with this investing platform. After your initial set-up and entry into the market, you can pretty much leave your account to work for you. It works behind the scenes to invest your money into a custom built portfolio that works for your lifestyle and risk tolerance.  This mobile app has been a great tool for me to invest in the market daily. I utilize this app to deposit $5 each day into the market, no matter how the market is performing. Because of this, I am able to purchase into my portfolio when the market is down, meaning a lower cost on those stocks/funds. This allows for greater returns when the market corrects itself and returns back to normal.  There are plenty of reasons to use Acorns, and hopefully, I can explain why it is a useful investing tool for those that are interesting in investing but have been ...

Let's Get Well, Together I have made the first video in this Financial series and I am inviting my audience to join me in the effort of becoming financially well. I know that not everyone is in the same spot financially and not as educated about the market. This is why I want to help get everyone on the same page, or at least give what insight I have into the realms of finance. Enjoy this first video and do not be afraid to leave comments or advice that you may have in regards to the video.
