Q3 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

Published on October 21, 2026October 20, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.comLeave a comment

Another wild quarter is in the books. As noted in our last blog, we are back on the road and living the full-time RV life once again. Now that I have some time, welcome to my Q3 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update!

We were planning on heading to Washington, but with the possibility of bad weather through the mountain passes we decided to play it safe. Our little RV, especially pulling our Jeep, is not built for that type of scenario. Plus, we just went through 5 months of stress and we need a break! It finally feels like we are getting situated and back in the groove of RV life. The last thing we need to do is to put ourselves in a bad or even dangerous situation.

On The Road Again……..

Published on October 13, 2026October 12, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com4 Comments

All of the major hurdles cleared and the sale of our home closed on time. Yeah, I remember this feeling from the last time we sold everything and hit the road in 2021. It’s very easily summed up. Oh shit!!

Once we got the all-clear, we immediately went into action. We set up our new domicile address, rented a storage unit, changed our driver’s licenses, changed our vehicle registrations, set up full-timer’s insurance and worst of all, started packing. I HATE packing!!

We had less than two weeks to get everything packed up, moved into storage and have our RV ready to roll. Loading up the moving truck and then unloading it into our storage damn near killed both of us! I don’t think I have had that hard of a workout in a decade and the days afterwards were painful.

Out With The New, In With The Old

After 100 plus days of self imposed torture we are finally under contract to sell our home. Bittersweet is probably the only way to describe our feelings.

We have many moments of excitement thinking about getting back on the road. I’m sure once that happens we will enjoy every minute of it as we did before. Right now those moments are typically followed by the disappointment and stress.

This entire process has taken a toll, but it’s just something we need to work through. Once we get it all sorted out we certain we can get back to enjoying life on the road as we did before.

Q2 2026 Financial Update

Published on July 28, 2026July 27, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

A lot has happened since our Q1 financial update was published in April. These last few months have been everything except relaxing or smooth. The life we envisioned when we set out on this journey years ago feels like it’s far off in the distance right now. I know we are taking the necessary steps to get back to it, but it’s not going to be easy.

I won’t rehash everything in this blog as I already covered what’s going on in other blogs. Plus I’m just really tired of stressing out over it and questioning where we went wrong. If you want, or need, to catch up you can start here and that will get you up to speed on our current situation.

Our house has now been on the market for over 60 days. We’ve had great interest, but so far nothing we could consider serious. Our current frustration level however doesn’t come from the process of selling our home. We understood what we were getting into when we made the difficult decision to move on.

Q2 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

With another action packed quarter in the books it’s time for the Q2 2026 dividend portfolio update!

After Q1 ran red hot, before eventually cooling off in March, the markets were at a crossroads. Would they rebound with investors buying the dip? Or, would there be more profit taking and in turn more panic selling that would take us lower?

Those questions were quickly answered as investors bought the dip and pushed the markets to new highs once again.

The Best-Laid Plans…………

This quote from Robert Burns pretty much sums up the crossroads we currently find ourselves at. So let’s bring you up to speed as much as it pains me to do so.

Two years ago we made the decision to get off the road full-time and build our dream home where we would live out our lives. It was a crazy transition. The year it took to plan and build our home was absolutely one of the most difficult years we’ve ever had. It was also one of the most exciting years.

Over this past year things have settled down. I felt like we were really starting to get in our groove. I’m the type of person who enjoys hobbies. I have way way too many hobbies. Gardening, guitar, this blog, photography, stock market trading and now options trading just to name a few.

Q1 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

Published on April 19, 2026May 11, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com5 Comments

Oh what a quarter! The markets were up, then they were down and then they were way down.

At the beginning of the year our dividend portfolio started off hot. We were reaching new highs on a consistent basis and life was good. However, war broke out in the Middle East we took a hit. Those hits kept on coming all the way to the end of the quarter.

It’s not a big deal as we have seen this story before. Geopolitical events happen and then they end. It’s not a straight line in either direction so the best thing to do is nothing. Except keep buying of course.
