I think that nothing has been slowing me down really. If you look at my YoY growth per month, it's actually been fairly high (I'm averaging 19% per month through August, which is great in my opinion). And to be honest, my goal was 47% higher than last year's total, so I was really stretching myself. Nothing wrong with not hitting a goal in my book. Thanks!Passive Income Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698511310449851311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332513014423909278.post-21797326829179779572017-08-27T16:47:05.803-07:002017-08-27T16:47:05.803-07:00Hi Dan,

As I mentioned to Korb above, I should be careful describing debt as "preventing wealth" like you say, because I am mostly using that debt TO create wealth via rental properties. So it is kind of incorrect for me to think of this debt as a 100% negative.<br /><br />And thanks for your enthusiasm! It does feel awesome to knock out goals, especially when you can see real progress, but you don't 'feel' it yet in your day to day life/spending. Take care bro!Passive Income Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698511310449851311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332513014423909278.post-6792253979699031112017-08-12T03:41:54.987-07:002017-08-12T03:41:54.987-07:00Thanks Korb, yea there was a significant amount of...Thanks Korb, yea there was a significant amount of debt I took on to get my 3rd NC house. Though it really isn't debt if it is money I 'invested' as equity in the form of a downpayment to get a house. That's a key difference that I probably should mention more clearly. I borrowed money to buy an asset, where I still technically have that money if I sell for at least the price I paid for it. Anyway, thanks for commenting and I do hope that both the portfolio and dividend income grow!Passive Income Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698511310449851311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332513014423909278.post-15468946926139722252017-08-12T03:40:03.503-07:002017-08-12T03:40:03.503-07:00IH you sound kind of negative! :) C'mon man it...IH you sound kind of negative! :) C'mon man it's only half-way through the year!
