On your journey to financial freedom or financial independence, you have to stay hungry out there. August brought many stock opportunities, and I was going to feed that hunger by making dividend stock investments in order to take steps closer to being financially independent. In August, I was able and lucky enough to make four dividend stock purchases, and my investments only covered two different companies! The investment purchases were for one company already in my portfolio and one new addition to the dividend family! Time to check out my August activity!
