Project Background
The "DGI For The DIY" portfolio was created in 2013 when I liquidated the mutual funds in my IRA and used the proceeds to create a new portfolio of dividend growth stocks. I've been writing quarterly updates on the portfolio ever since; documenting its progress and my lessons learned as a Do-It-Yourself ("DIY") Dividend Growth Investor ("DGI").
I am a 41-year old civil engineer who is married with three young children. I share my personal story in an attempt to inspire others to take control of their finances and plan for their future.
