We are indeed fairly close in the dividends category, however you’ve been accelerating ahead with some of your more recent capital additions! I will have to work harder to keep up. One thing I’m working on balancing is my capital additions to my P2P lending accounts, as I really want to push the interest received in those accounts up this year. If you have questions as you investigate P2P lending, let me know!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! We will tackle this year together!

P2P lending is something that I need to start looking into more closely in order to expand and diversify the passive income options. My dividend received and projected dividends are in the same range as yours. It will be nice to track our progress through the course of the year.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Nice goals and good luck for 2015! Anything over 5K+ in dividends is awesome!

Best,
PIM

Life will be pretty insanely busy these next couple of months, so it will likely be the end of the first quarter or so before things get rolling.

As for the varied income streams, I can only say the more, the merrier. Diversification is important to me, and types of investments are no different.

I’m glad you’ve stopped by and best of luck to you as well, F2R30.

I’m specifically interested in what your second site will be about.

Of course the dividend and passive income goals are amazing as well. It’s really motivating to see how many different sources of income you will be working on this year.

Good luck with 2015! I’ll definitely be following along!

We have completely combined our finances in essence, but practically, there are still some accounts with just one name on it. We do not view things separately, even pre-martial assets, and our monthly net worth statement includes all of our assets combined. As for our handling of risk tolerances, knowing we were combining things, we sat down and had a few frank conversations (took multiple ones) to hammer out an arrangement that made us both comfortable. As we’ve gone on, there have been changes to the agreed upon structure, but they are required to be agreed upon by both of us and are often initiated by my wife, who is the more risk-adverse of the two of us. It has worked out well. Since we are both fairly frugal by nature, it really was a cash balance and investment allocation conversation as opposed to a spending/not spending issue, which is another animal entirely.

In your case, you make a tremendous amount of money and depending on the income disparity with your SO, maintaining some separation might provide you a level of comfort. However, this is never a requirement and really something that is specific to the two of you. For us, I handle all the finances, so it just makes sense for everything to be combined.

Best of luck in 2015 and with your pending nuptials!

I’m curious to hear how you and your wife move forward with combining your finances, as that’s something that I’ve been thinking about lately. Do you plan to fully combine or just your marital earnings combined? Good luck in 2015 – it’s going to be a great year!
