In reply to Matthew in Michigan. If you already have money with Vanguard they are very helpful with moving money in. I consolidated past employer stock into Vanguard and was eligible for their concierge service, which mean very little work / effort on my part. Yet another reason I ♡ Vanguard.

You could be right :) I just hate things lingering around and prefer to minimize all my accounts as much as possible unless I’m super passionate about them. Even my Digit and Acorns accounts i consider shutting down to merge more of my $$$, but i just like them so much haha…

will check out your series though – people do rave about dividend investing.

Congrats on the $600K milestone, J$. With your momentum, you will soon reach the double comma club. While I understand why you gave up on DGI after your $500 experiment for one year, you could have taken a long-term approach. It wouldn't have hurt to continue the "experiment" for 5 years or more, to see how it pans out since you had so little invested. DGI is all about having a long-term mindset, and in my experience, it actually shines better in bear markets than in raging bull markets (where it can lag the index). I hope you like the new Investing Series I started on this very topic: Dividend Investing vs. Indexing.
