That is a great question on the sustainability of PSECs extremely high ~12% dividend. I initiated a position in PSEC prior to starting this blog, and it was actually my first position in my portfolio. I like to keep my exposure to BDC/REIT in the 10% or less total portfolio territory. <br /><br />I think that short term PSEC is sustainable, but it is a position that I monitor closely as the landscape could change very quickly to unsustainable.

I know it may not seem like much now, but given enough time and consistent contributions and it will turn into a huge snowball. It's amazing what a little bit of clarity can give you and how quickly you can start to make progress.

Work has been really busy and it is easy to see the overtime pay reflected in my net worth. Hopefully as the portfolio grows those monthly gaps become even larger due to assets appreciating.

It sounds like you have it pretty well figured out which is fantastic considering most Americans don't even know how to build it properly. I alternate between two rewards cards (each are better in different categories) and pay them off monthly as well. I have found that creditkarma.com is a really great way to track your credit score and they do a really good job of breaking down each category showing you where you can improve. Thank you for stopping in sir and have a lovely weekend.

Congrats ! That's a great ...Hi Dividendasaur, <br /><br />Congrats ! That's a great first step. It is empowering. <br /><br />One of my recent milestone (january 2014) is to start investing. <br /><br />Last week, I also celebrated another milstone : my first year of credit history in the US. Since my arrival I was carefully keeping a low balance and paying it in full each month. Thanks to that, I got accepted for a new credit card with better cashback rewards. A small step but anyway, it will mean more money to invest. Like you say it adds up. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />GuillaumeGuillaumenoreply@blogger.com
