🎂 $12K Journey — Month 18, Week 3: Dividends, Family, and Forty

The Tree That Keeps Paying Me Back

💡 MaxDividends Mission: Helping people build growing passive income, retire early, and live off dividends.

Every Friday, I share what I’m buying — real moves, no fluff. The plan is simple: mix high yield with dividend growth to build income that grows year after year.

My goal is $12,000/month in 10 years. This journey is open to anyone — it’s about creating a legacy, taking care of loved ones, and leaving behind a stream of income that outlives you.

From Rome, With Dividends

Hey friends — Max here.

Some weeks feel slow on the surface… but underneath, compounding keeps working like a machine. No fireworks, no headlines — just quiet progress that turns ordinary Fridays into milestones.

This week marks the 79th Friday in a row since the start of my $12K journey — and the rhythm hasn’t changed:

$3,000 invested every week, $12,000/month as the long-term goal, and one simple mission — build lasting income, not fleeting excitement.

While the market jumps between fear and euphoria, I’m just planting more seeds.
Those seeds — my dividend shares — keep growing quietly, sending a little more cash every month.

🌇 A Special Week — and a Personal Note

This one’s a special week, no doubt. And I’m happy I get to share it with you.
By the time you read this, we’re probably strolling through Rome — and honestly, I couldn’t care less what the market’s doing right now. It’s the weekend, and we’re in the Eternal City. 🇮🇹

Yesterday I turned 40 — a milestone of its own.

It feels like the brightest moments are already behind me… and yet, somehow, all the most interesting ones are still ahead 😂

What truly matters? My family is with me. My wife, my kids — all close. Life is good, and I’m grateful for it. Especially because this trip — every espresso, every museum ticket, every evening walk — is paid for by dividends.

That’s what makes this journey so real. It’s not theory anymore — it’s experience. Dividends are paying for our memories.

And now, back to the portfolio. I made this week’s buys early — on Monday — just so I wouldn’t have to think about markets while we’re away. So if prices look a little different today, that’s why. The plan, though, stays the same.

Let’s roll.

— Max
