Wrap Up

The total amount of income received this week from dividends and options premium was $219.07. Even though the markets and my accounts are down this year my income continues to grow. Seeing the cash flow from accounts continue to grow makes it easier for me to keep investing while the stock market goes down. That wraps it up for this week. Thank for following along!
