For this month I received $773 in dividends. All funds were invested back into the companies that paid them. $773 is not enough to live off of completely but it is also not a small amount. At this point, I have no problem supporting myself on the dividend alone aside from the bay area's absurd rental prices.

I have recently invested a lot of capital into my portfolio. This has caused my monthly dividends to grow month to month at a nice pace. June is a heavier paying month for me along with July. My light paying months are in the month of 2, 5, 8, and 11. I do not hold many companies in my portfolio that pay on those months. I focus mostly on my quarter dividend moving average. For comparison, last year's June my dividends were $475 and this month is $773. Most of this income growth is attributed to my continuous contributions into dividend paying companies every month.
I track my future dividend for upcoming months using this chart that is available on my Dividend Calendar page. This week, my future dividends in January topped 4 figures for the first time ever. April July and October are close to crossing the $1000 barrier. I believe eventually, given enough time, all of the months in the year will have dividends in excess of 4 figures. And given enough time and letting compounding do its thing, 5 figures per month is also possible.
Happy investing

Well done, that is fantastic, keep up the good work!

ReplyDeleteVery nice report Young Dividend. Soon you'll be consistently crossing 4 digits and the idea that 5 digits is within reach is amazing! I'm still in two digits slowly heading to cross the 3-digit threshold.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more awesome reports.
