So my goal is to try and built something genuine and useful whilst hopefully bringing in abit of passive income

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

Been quiet recently as I have been working on a pet project whilst juggling family, work etc - currently in a soft launch whilst allowing google to gather data/seo etc - if people could help by visiting and browsing and providing feedback would be great.

I have really focused on the mobile side and have alot more I want to release and add - I have used and built many finance related calculators for myself over the last few years and have found many sites that provide them to be kinda bad even when I get the data I need

@JamesP728 I got BP yday always feel like i need a cowboy hat when I get it

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

Dividend payment in today - going to reinvested straight away.

Any else invested in BP?

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

Less than 2 years ago I knew almost nothing about investing.

Today my portfolio has crossed £26k.

Still learning every day, still making mistakes, but consistency is paying off.

Onwards to £30k 📈

Quick question for everyone 👇

What’s been your biggest headache on your investing/finance journey so far?

Mine is trying to transfer an old workplace pension into my SIPP. I left the company in March, but the transfer keeps getting rejected 🤦‍♂️

Surely I can’t be the only one?

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@BradInv94 I think having a plan and sticking to it is the best way - too many ppl seem to chop and change to try finding abit extra but then its like long term is that the best attitude - figure something out and stick to it

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@BradInv94 Yeh but in my mid and late 20s i wasnt 😂 then i took control of our household spending fromn the wife and the spreadsheeting took off quick haha

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@BradInv94 Then i have a section for each 10k goal which shows how much money will be in each - as i progress the goal is to build my etf up to closer to 40% but overall goal is to dividends a 100 a day by thr time im 55 as ive estimated thats how much it costs to run my fam of 4

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@BradInv94 Currently national grid and london metric property - but that could change as they will only be added once i hit the 30k invested mark

So i have all plans set out for all my milestones and percentage the stock will take of the money invested

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@ShiftToFreedomX Yeh I do wish dividend tracking was abit more accurate especially with currency conversion but its never been a easy one to track anyways

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

GM all 👋

Feels crazy to have gained so many followers in the last 24 hours.

One app that’s helped me stay motivated is Stock Events (you don’t even need an account)

Seeing future dividends visualised makes the journey to my end goal feel much more real.

Current setup below👇

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@KorayChelikhan Even lets you setup goals and helps estimate how many years it will take

[David Calf @davidcalfx]

@KorayChelikhan Been finding it really good for helping me track dividends, ex dates etc
