I earned an interest of $31.23
$34.04 in points on my Discover card
$  1.00 in points on my Amazon card
I received $3.00 gift card from Sears, 
               $10.00 gift card from Best Buy
               $10.00 gift card from LL Bean
               $15.00 gift card from Kohls
               $10.00 gift card from Palais Royal

Gift cards were perfect for Christmas Shopping!

I finally accepted AMEX offer to get their credit card because receiving 20% back if I used the card 20 times per month was the offer I could not pass by. So next month Discover points will go down and I will see how Amex points will work for me.

My total financial passive income for the month of December was $377.91

I was very impressed with this month!

At this moment my goal is to have $1k in monthly passive income from dividends and other financial institutions.

Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts and progress.
