Remember you bought a house as a single mom. That is a huge investment. You are doing amazing.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you 💜

[@amandathemadscrapper6993]

I get the feelings of disappointment…. But having those shares allowed you to do the work to create your lovely home. So you’ve already started creating that life for you and your boys.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

That’s very true; I didn’t think of it like that. Thank you 💜

[@barbarahughes6009]

Don’t look back,look forward.Who else do you know that has bought a house,renovated it,started a new life etc as a single mother?Your achievements are extraordinary and will continue because of your persistence and determination.I think you have done brilliantly but if you keep comparing to the past and will make you sad and blind you from seeing how successful you really are.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

True 💜

[@beauteoussounds1156]

Your tomorrow’s self will thank your today’s self for starting up again! Keep it up and congratulate your wins, no matter the size❤

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

💜

[@zoedodd3748]

You have to start somewhere! And one year from now you will be pleased you started in 2024!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Very true!

[@adamp6320]

Thanks Nicola - I love these videos so count me in with the group that is happy to see them again. Have you had to sell your stocks to divide them between you two? I assume so! You'll be surprised how fast you can build that up again. Keep up the good work and transperancy.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you! Yes, to divide and then I sold even more of my own share to be able to fund the house renovations.

[@patkuykendall-weeks2617]

investing in your home is an investment, congrats on getting back in the cash investing!@@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage

[@minmo2288]

You’re an experienced person basically starting again that’s valuable content wise, seeing people with big accounts is less interesting than going along with someone.

[@saidawisemanvideos]

Pump-out more videos like this one and the dividends will come rolling back. Rock on Nicola - lets' go!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Here’s hoping 💪

[@TheCompoundingInvestor]

Wishing you the best on your new dividend journey. Looking forward to seeing those figures steadily rise again. There are several FTSE 100 companies which pay out 4 times a year which may help generate dividends every month with a combination of just a few of them.

[@macsidia]

Similar thing happened with me, I got addicted to gambling during the financial crisis of 2009 to 2011 and I lost all my money got into heavy debt and about ‘15 years’ I had to start from negative numbers and I am not far away from where I was at the highest point.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you for sharing 💜

[@shebaofnottingham]

Sorry you're so disheartened with the state of play at the moment, but I think its evident that you're on a good track now and things are most definitely on the up. Bought you a coffee to help lift your mood and also can I say I personally miss the snoring cat backtrack, was too cute!! Upwards and onwards Nic xxx

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you for the coffee 😍

[@clairegiani4722]

Hey Nicola, you may not realise it but your vids are inspriring as like you am in a similar situation but have not dipped into indiviudal dividens but after watching your vid i'm going to take the plunge and give it a go. Will need to take a look at some earlier vids to find out where to start! Baby steps!

[@rebeccaparkin6197]

You are doing an amazing job! Lovng the house rennovations. So pleased you are back On this investing journey. You are the reason I got into this too! Enjoy Disney later this month xx

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you 💜

[@celine401]

You are doing so well . Good for you x

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you 💜

[@carbslayer]

Welcome back and good luck luv. been a lurker for a long time but youve earned my sub💖

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Thank you ☺️

[@paulcaygill3468]

I’ve always used Hargreaves Lansdown and have started building my pot up now having bought my first house. Keep being amazing.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

💜

[@jasonwhitehead9777]

Well done Nicola. So glad you have started doing your dividend income reports again.keep up the good work thanks

[@DestinationWealth1]

Keep grinding away Nicola, you're doing great. Took me quite a while to finally have a £1000+ month in dividend Income. Just keep re-investing those dividends via DRIP. If you are interested in putting the work in and investing in individual stocks, there are a few good ones out there that increase their dividends year on year and often pay a 'Special' dividend which is nice. A couple I own that often do this are Greggs (GRG) and Games Workshop (GAW). I'll be releasing a video soon on my channel outlining the process I use to invest in individual stocks, it's not for everyone and you have to put the work in but I do enjoy it. All the best Adam

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

I shall watch with interest! Thanks for commenting ☺️

[@milisuarez-al-nashy4314]

You are amazing and you have done SO well, keep going. 😊

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

💜

[@HM-em2zf]

Keep your chin up hun, you're doing great xx

[@davidrogers7550]

Your doing all the right things dont get despondent we all get set backs things crop up but keep focused and your get there, dont forget you are who you are today because of what you done yesterday.

[@gladyschandler6724]

I came into 5k from a lawsuit. I opened a U.S. CD and I have an extra 212.00 will use CD to pay for my Viking Cruise for Nov. 2025.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Amazing ☺️

[@lyracian]

Thank you for sharing. It sounds a bit churlish to say (but you did ask) that I have had my best month ever with £1916 of dividends.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Oh my gosh, that’s amazing! And continue to share - I love hearing about it!

[@margaretspence109]

I get your feelings of disappointment but you have gained a lot of knowledge over the last 8 years. I definitely think you should keep that spreadsheet but maybe consider starting a new spreadsheet for 2024 onwards as it's a new start on your investing journey and also so that the difference in numbers isn't so in your face. Just a thought. Think it's great your investing and I'd love to start but definitely need to really look into it first.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

I just might do that - thank you for the suggestion ☺️

[@patmartin9727]

One step at a time Nicola. There is no point looking back as what’s gone is gone we cannot change what’s gone. The future is ours and that the only thing we can influence. In the last year you have moved forward in leaps and bounds building a new life for you and your boys. You know how to build wealth you have done it before just be patient and the good times will return. You are a strong women be proud of what you have achieved and look to the future.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

[@user-ly2gn5ou2y]

In terms of generating videos for the KZbin views, could you do videos on how your original portfolio might be looking if you still had it? I know it might be upsetting, but I'm thinking people might be interested and it could generate views. You have a lot of drive and I'm sure it will grow again one day soon.

[@mammabee7]

Thanks for sharing, i do like to see these videos. Perhaps another way to view it is as you reaping the rewards of 8 years worth of investing by having your lovely new home for you and your boys. The safety and security that brings ❤️ You having your financial cushion bought that for you and your boys❤️ Well done, I know you perhaps don't feel it but you are doing amazing financially 👍

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

True 💜

[@MuzzyArtyBiker]

Looks like your starting with the same amount I have, chin up people, the important thing is to start investing… with whatever you have and keep building. Life has a way of throwing you a bone now and then 😊

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Very true ☺️

[@alisonbutler6743]

I understand why you feel so sad, but as others have said you have just bought and refitted a house on one income which really is a huge achievement. Your past investment knowledge has enabled you to have some additional money to help towards the renovations. We are in a similar position as we used virtually all our savings last October to buy and furnish our home. It is a shock to see the change in figures, but just think how much you have achieved, even more so because you are doing it alone.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

One day at a time 💜

[@hazel1766]

I would like to invest but, I am on disability and not sure how investing would affect me ❤.

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

I don’t know if it would? That’s one to ask before you get started ☺️

[@saadiasfinances]

It is very disheartening to lose quite a lot of your investments, but im sure you will build this up again 😊

[@gladyschandler6724]

This week will need to pua used car for max 12k. Will pit a good down-payment and get financing will have funds in 2025 to pay off loan.

[@user-ei9mv6ne4q]

The start of this video seems to have been cut off, possibly only a few seconds but it start halfway through a sentence

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Oh, sorry 😕

[@elgar2582]

I tried to send you something on your wish list, unfortunately I cant as I dont have prime (i think that reason)

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

That’s strange, Prime shouldn’t affect it 🤔 thank you for trying though 💜

[@elgar2582]

Pity you didnt have a po box or something

[@elgar2582]

Bought a coffee instead.

[@ldnsolja4914]

You started with nothing before and built up, you can do it again... just with more experience

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

True!
