I wrote in December that my daughter accumulated enough money to invest into another stock. I created a  list of stocks  for her to choose from. Today she finally made her choice. She picked RY - Royal Bank of Canada.  Here how she made her choice. First she already had my list with 26 stocks.  Then I suggested to look into Canadian banks stocks because it would be good for her portfolio balance. She said, "Oh, it looks like lots of my friends went to Canada for visit", so I might pick one. Then she noticed that according to 1 year target price RY shares might go up at least by $10.  We are going to invest her Christmas money as well, so I will post another update soon.  She is thinking about WHR - Whirlpool or T-AT&T. Probably WHR because she already has shares of T in her portfolio. But we will see. :) You can find all posts about this project  here . Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts.

Yesterday my decluttering project reached $1000.00! I would say we started this project in November.  I used to donate most of items, but this time I had a problem. I had bunch of big items, which I needed to get rid of.  So we held a garage sale. Unfortunately people didn't buy big stuff I really wanted to get rid of. Also it rained half of the time, so it was not a very successful garage sale, but it was a start.  My mom suggested me to keep track of all my sales. It was a really good idea, because it is very stimulating to watch how each little item adds up to a bigger total.  My next step was posting my big items on craiglist. It actually worked pretty good. We sold most of my son's bikes, old couch, grill and outdoor furniture we didn't use. Then I discovered  www.varagesale.com . This site is like an ongoing garage sale for your items in your area. You log in with your facebook account and find a group close to where you live. Then you post pics and descri...
