Slowly but steadily the dividends are increasing. 12 months ago, I was only able to receive $335 in dividends for December 2015.
For the new year of 2017, I am expecting my dividend accumulation to stay relatively flat because most of my cash is going towards a down payment. I need a place to live with a constant living cost since my rent keeps increasing, so I'm deciding to take a year to stabilize my housing which will momentarily hurt my dividend growth. That down payment cash will sit in a savings account earning a measly 1.05% yield.
The only cash I will be investing in will be in my 401k retirement account which will be roughly around $2700 every 2 months. Nevertheless, I predict that each of my holdings will increasing their dividends by some amount in 2017, and I hope to average 8% dividend increases across my entire portfolio.

Great work YD. Good to hear about you buying a home! It's risky but smart in the long run, in my opinion. I missed my 2016 passive income goal, but came close and am excited about 2017. Good luck,
