I'm now right on track with my annual goal for dividends, I'm still uncertain if I'm going to hit it though. My forward dividends don't reach that amount, and I'm going to be allocating surplus capital into Kindle until I can raise that income to a level that matches my current salary.
There's a chance that I won't hit my goal due to this, but I'm looking at the bigger picture. I may fall short this year, but I intend on taking my investing to a NEW level next year when I'm earning more money working for myself. For June, my early calculations suggest I've earned something around £750 from Kindle, which I'll get paid at the end of August. I'm likely to cover my expenses with Kindle income alone during July. This helps me out enormously!
On the work front, I've talked to my boss once again about my position, and I plan on leaving my employment at the end of August. I've made the decision NOT to go part time and to focus all of my efforts on getting my business up and running. I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life, and who knows where I'm going to be with it all by the end of the year. I have two of my biggest pay checks at work coming up for August and September, both of which have significant bonuses in them. August's will be my biggest ever monthly payment from employment. My Kindle income is now sufficient to cover my expenses, and by October/November, it might be close to a low wage I'd earn at work.
I believe in myself, and my ability to handle this transition, which I'm sure won't be easy. It'll be a lot of fun though!
Wish me luck!
PS. York is still 100% on, despite my lack of Blogging about it. I hope you're all still looking forward to it. It's only 6 weeks and change away now!
