I wish I had written but no such luck!

Hi, D4L,

Thanks for the mention and the link.

Having a steady crop of dividends from well chosen dividend paying and stable companies, is a great way to grow our savings.

I am sure many will benefit from blogs such as yours.

In my opinion you are doing the right thing first - getting out of debt. You should be commended for that! <br/><br/>As for getting into investing once you are out of debt, I would suggest using this time to start educating yourself and developing your personal investing philosophy. To accomplish this you might want to read some good books on dividend/value investing and set up a "play" portfolio where you can select stocks with play money and test what you are learning (play losses are painful to the ego, but not to the wallet).<br/><br/>Learn from everyone, follow no one. Find different sites that you trust and learn from them, but never blindly follow anyone's investment path. We all have different objectives and risk levels - there is no one size that fits all. Ultimately, we are responsible for our own actions.<br/><br/>Again, keep plugging away at reducing your debt. I have always been a strong advocate of becoming debt free. I think that is what first attracted me to your article.<br/><br/>Debt in my opinion is the number 1 reason people fail to meet their financial objectives. Our society is designed to allow people to mortgage their future for the pleasures of today. Congratulations for taking charge of your future.<br/><br/>I am not a financial advisor, so I can't tell you what to do; but I would be glad to hear how it is going with your quest. Feel free to email me or leave a comment any time.<br/><br/>Best Wishes,<br/>D4L Thank you so much for stopping by and subscribing.

I subscribed to your blog hoping to learn something about dividend investments. I'd like to get a taste for it before I'm ready to invest (in about a year when I'm out of debt). Honestly I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any suggestions for beginners? Thanks again for checking out my article.
