Posting of monthly options income online

Monthly income from my stocks thru options selling is lesser this month due to assigned stocks n price went down lower. So I've decided to post my monthly income from options as well as any dividend paid monthly to keep track of the income I'm receiving monthly. Current holding is ARO,ESI,KO,WAG,VALE. With ARO,ESI,VALE price is much lower from current market, I've not been able to generate any income from this 3 stocks. So only WAG and KO is providing the income. well, at least VALE is paying dividend whereas ARO and ESI is not a dividend paying stock. Because of this, I've decided to remove ARO and ESI once I reach breakeven point and focus on dividend paying stock. so that I can sleep soundly at night and I know even if stock price is down, it still pays me dividend.

Yearly check..

Its been a year.. yup.. i'm still focusing on my stocks for passive income thru covered call options n dividends from the US stocks. Its the only investment so far that I am able to see profits. Profits are real slow merely a 10-15% annually. although this is a huge percentile comparing to the world of investing, to be able to live comfortably and achieve financial freedom, it still need to take a huge amount of capital. 100k capital will be the 1st milestone to clear. right now i'm still on track and i'm pushing myself to hit it with a 100k portfolio by year 2020. While i'm on my journey of investing, I find that one needs a lot of discipline and determination in order to reach the financial freedom goal. u need to remind yourself to save the fixed amount of budget to set aside for investment. if you are not earning a lot, u need to cut down some of the activity that u usually do. it might be social gathering to a posh restaurant or Friday night drinking with your friends. Read thru some of the investment blogger who achieve their financial goals earning passively with dividend income range from 40k-100k or even more. They are in their late 30s to 40s and 1 thing about them is they live a frugal life. I did ask myself will I want an early retirement but living for the next 10 years frugally. when i'm age 40 being rich, looking back in life, what will I be missing out, will I be happy? if I were to reach all my financial goal, will I really attain happiness when the times come. this is a question within a question which I still have not come to an answer for it. NOW, what if I don't wan to retire early n enjoy my life now, when i'm age 40s, will I still be slogging out working all day waiting for paycheck by paycheck n still stuck in rat race.
