I’m looking to start investing in dividend ETFs and would love to hear your thoughts on which ETFs you would consider for a long-term portfolio. I’m currently thinking of starting with these two: • ISPA — iShares STOXX Global Select Dividend 100 ETF (Dist) • JGPI — JPM Global Equity Premium Income Active UCITS ETF - USD (Dist) My initial idea would be to allocate 50% to each ETF. Would you consider these two a good starting point, or would you look at other dividend ETFs available to European investors? 💰📈read more
After pooling all my dividend funds received in September (less those on a DRIP program) plus my daily contributions, I settled on buying into $CANY this month
My $179.09$SCHD dividend just landed in my Roth. But I'm not $179.09 richer. A dividend isn't free money — it's the ETF handing me back part of what I already owned, in cash. The share price drops by the same amount. Think of it like moving money from your left pocket to your right pocket. I used it to top up: SCHD is now at 675 shares, $IDVO at 87. Did you get a SCHD dividend? What did you do with it? Stock cards: https://www.simplysafedividends.com/?affiliate=dapperdividendsread more

I just did hit my biggest financial breakthrough of my life. Honestly, it still doesn’t feel real. This is more than just a number in an account, it feels like a dream coming true. ❤️ I came to Canada in mid-2022 as an international student with one suitcase, big dreams, and no idea how far this journey would take me. I started from $18/hour, worked, saved, invested, learned from my mistakes, and kept going. Was stuck in that loop of minimum wage till this year beginning that is for 3 straight years. I upskilled myself last year and worked my ass off to get my field job this year. Three years later after consistent investing, seeing that $100K number feels incredibly emotional. 🥹 And if I can do this while starting from scratch and working an $18/hour job, I genuinely believe it’s possible for many others in Canada too. It’s not about making huge money overnight. It’s about being consistent, living below your means when you can, investing patiently, and giving yourself enough time. To anyone who is just starting: your first $10K might feel impossible. Your first $50K might feel far away. But keep going. Today, I’m just grateful. 🇨🇦❤️ $100,000 — a milestone I’ll never forget. 😭📈 Cheers to everyone who supported me in this journey especially my wife, my mathematics teacher and all my fellow blossom peers🥂 Happy investing 😀 $VFV$VCN$MU$MSTE$SNDK$XEQT$NVDA$OSCRread more
