A little about me

So, I should probably start this first post with a little about me. I wanted to start a blog about my journey into the stock market, and dividends to hopefully give some inspiration to people who are like me. People who are not finance people. I'm just a 27 year old guy with a normal 8 to 5 job. I am not in finance, I don't have rental properties, or a 6 figure income. I scrape by with a middle salary job (Think about $52,000 a year, $32,000 after taxes, and that is before mortgage, bills, students loans, car loans, etc). But I wanted to start and look at the possibility of retiring when I am 45. We will see how this goes. I started investing about 3 and a half years ago, and remember my first month of dividends. I received 31 cents. Ever since then, I have been building up. It is not a quick thing. I have built up slowly, piece by piece. Now, as of last month, I received $22.98 in dividends (more on that later). Like I said, a slow build. I definitely have a comfortable job, but by no means am I rich. That is the point of this blog. Just a regular old guy seeing what I can do. Thanks for reading this first post. Hopefully more to come.
