What's up baby

My TSX went down of more than 100 points today... My non-registered portfolio is currently at 124 274.34$. Not too bad. I would like to see things get more stable. The stock market is not about to lose its extreme volatility anytime some. So far for 2012, my dividend income is exceeding the 1 700$.

I had set up my banking account for my home business. I got one assignment so far. I done for about 300$ of work last week, but I work like crazy. I should receive more certainly by the end of the week. While waiting, I try to do all of those little things that need to be done, but it’s not easy. I have to come with some Web site content in both French and English, I need to have the English content be proofread – because you know, me and English is like firework... I need to search for new customers... I also need to apply for my tax number.

I had previous experience as a freelancer. Being a freelancer is not easy. While being in Montreal, I had an evening job from 4 to midnight in a call center. I had the whole day to work on my stuff or seek for contracts. I also had a survey job during the weekend. I was doing a nice living, I had no money problem, I was doing more than what needed for my living, it allowed me to invest for my portfolio, etc. The whole situation was certainly chaotic with all that work-work-work, but I didn’t mind. I had no money problem. And I was living in the beautiful Mont-Royal, not far away from the Lafontaine Park and all other beauties of the Plateau.

However, I didn’t like the in-deep Quebec, its politic, the non-access to health care and the high income taxes, among other.

But my whole existence took a different path when I moved back to New Brunswick in September 2011. I was promised a full-time permanent position. However, I had been laid off beginning of March 2012. The reason? Lack of financial resources. What the heck.

I was lucky to meet my local New Brunswick MLT. The MLT was extra nice to me. I was able to go through the whole work situation and the circumstances of my laid off. And the MLT opinion was about the same as for the lawyers that I spoke too so far. I was happily surprised because at first, i wasn’t expecting much from a politician LOL (Laid off or not, there’s thing that will NEVER EVER change OK).

Next step for me is to email to my local Federal Deputy. I hope for a meeting as well. So yeah, the Dividend Girl is talking to a bunch of politicians. But why am I doing so?

Why? Because my workplace had received thousands and thousands of dollars from the government, the federal one especially. Close to or more than 1 million bucks. My taught is: EVERYONE in position of authority need to know. And trust me, everyone will know when I will be done with this. As you can imagine, it’s taking a lot of my time. But now that I am laid off, I don’t have anything better to do: complaint and blog, do business, check out on my portfolio. DO BUSINESS LOL.

Problem being, money had been spend around without any respect. Salaries had been raised when they shouldn’t, and money had been invested in piece of software when they shouldn’t. A bad management is the reason of all this. And when I will be done, their ignorance will just explode on their F face! YOUYOU. You'll regret the day you were born! :)

Myself, with my business, I could spend thousands and thousands on all kind of software and other. But I start slowly. I can use free online resources BEFORE spending money. I plan to only invest if I can, and only on money I would have made on the famous business. At my current 300$, I had have enough to cover one software I bought at 120$. I have enough for my domain address and also to cover the cost of the English proofreading Web site content, and also to buy a nice template... the rest is peanuts, but enough to pay some coffees. I don’t like to be working from home, in my tiny bedroom like ALL DAY LONG.   

That’s pretty much what’s going on right now.

I run around for jobs. But I am not expecting anything. Some parts of New Brunswick are a dead zone. It’s the most area to be living in while facing a laid off. Because there’s no job and a lot of corruption. It’s a game of power and corruption, basically. And no one is really paying the price of that, if not the victims themselves.

The overall scheme is not too bad. I need 400$-500$ or 600$ for my basic living expenses. On top of that, the minimum payment on my debt is about 300$. With my dividend income + online earnings + freelance contracts, I can make a holly bunch of money, it’s just a matter of getting the thing started.

HELLO MONEY.
