Time for my October 2026 dividend income! Hope you all had a great Halloween!
I spent most of this month sick. It started with what I thought was a heart attack… but later realized my symptoms resembled when I had Covid last year for 6 weeks…
For a week, I could barely move with aches, pains, and dizziness. And I have just been knocked out the remainder of the month. I’ve been to various doctors this past month trying to figure it out. I went for an echocardiogram, and it all appears good with the heart.
The other good news is that I appear to be recovering. My strength is slowly returning, and I am slowing going back to doing the things I always used to do (like walking, exercising, etc.) I guess slow but steady is better than going backwards.
As I always said, health is more important than wealth.
In others news, I made some new stock buys earlier this month and achieved a new rank on my 2026 goals! One more to go!
