The Election is Over, Setting Our $8M Wealth Goal for 2032
Finally no more election shenanigans, time to get back to building wealth again. Another added benefit of post-November, we can kiss the $12 billion election ad campaigns goodbye.

Relatively, I’m grateful for our +$6,000 average. My goal is to bring that up to an average of $10,000 monthly by 2027. Unfortunately, prices are up on our business expenses, and dividend yields are down. In positive news, Federal interest rates are easing to 2 percent. Times are harder.
