Goals 2016

Ok, lets look back at the goals that I set for 2016. How did it go.

Monthly goal was set at 110€ in dividends per month. Only January and February was not reached, other months passed the goal line (August was quite tights but over the line anyway). So 10 out of 12 was passed, OK result.


Quarterly goal was set at 330€ per quarter. And only first quarter goal was tight but passed anyway. Others passed clearly. So 4 out of 4 was passed, great result


Full year target was 1330€ in dividends. And when looking at month by month followup graph, we can see that I was on track right after march. Full year goal was clearly passed and that was an excellent result. My Goal was way too low
