Hello Commonstock, been a while since I posted, have been busy at work and earnings season. Some might remember at the beginning of 2022 I set a goal for myself to build a new dividend portfolio from scratch, and conclude the year with £350 in dividends received.

So far I have allocated over £12,000 into my ISA, which is handily exempt from taxes. There are still around 5 months left for me to max out my ISA allowance for the year, which I intend to do so. So far, with Q4 dividends still to go (the bulk of mine come in November and December) I have pulled in £330.45 in dividends, with a further £125 expected by the end of the year. I think it's safe to say the goal will be complete for Year 1 of this journey.

To make matters better, although it doesn't really matter, I am beating the S&P 500 this year.
