An introspective on my blog in 2018 with some stats and income for transparency, here’s my newly invented State of the Blog 2018 address…

This stock indicator has predicted over 100% of all market corrections!
With the stock market at all time record highs, it’s only a matter of time before the next stock market crash happens. Look out for this one stock indicator that has accurately predicted twenty-seven of the last nine Black Swan corrections – that’s how good it is!

Starting to start exercising! How I’m investing in myself.
I’ve started exercising! Although I use the terms loosely. It’s probably more correct to say “I’m starting to start exercising again.” Either way, it’s a long overdue step in a journey to a better me. I thought I’d write out my plans and routine so that I’ll stick to them.

There’s more to life than dividends…

30 Songs inspired by Financial Independence
I’ve been stressed with work of late and haven’t had chance to write up the changes in the UK Dividend Champions list which I sneakily updated earlier this week (the latest version is dated 2016-03 and all download links should be up to date). But since compiling the change notes takes a couple of evenings, I’m deferring that task to this weekend.
