These days I have been focusing my time on teaching my son things that he needs to learn at this stage. On days when I am working from home or on leave, I would walk him to school as it is only opposite our home. One of the important things I started teaching him was…

All my companies have finished reporting their earnings which means I can already tabulate my dividend income figure for the quarter.
