Welcome to Blue Collar Bill Investing
Hello, my name is Bill. I have worked in factories for over 30 years now. For most of that time, I lived paycheck to paycheck like most blue collar factory workers. I didn’t really have a plan for retirement. A few years ago I decided needed to take charge of my finances and make a plan for retirement.
For many blue collar workers retirement means waiting to collect Social Security and hoping that is enough to get by. Many financial gurus say you need a million dollars or more saved to retire. I do not believe this to be true. I am documenting my investing journey. I hope to show that I can create enough income to live comfortably. This can be achieved without having millions of dollars invested. I have come a long way in just a few short years and I believe you can too. I encourage everyone to invest. Just get started. The sooner you start the better.
One of the main holdings in my account in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). This fund is a cornerstone of my accounts and will be a key to achieving financial freedom. The total # of shares of SCHD I own across all accounts is now up to 1,008.88835 shares.
