Last year, I returned from a 12 month RV trip across North & Central America with my family. This was a life-changing experience that I will never forget. You can read my previous adventures here. During this trip, our values evolved, and we have open ourselves to the persons we really are. Not that robot working more each day to pay down debts, save and hope for a nice retirement.

In September 2017, I’ve received slightly over $100K as a result of the commuted value of my pension plan. I decided to invest 100% of this money into dividend growth stocks.
