Dividend Income - July to September 2018

We've been busy with our wedding and going on our honeymoon so the dividend updates for July to September (Q3) are all combined in a single post.

July's dividend income came in at $424.41, a 110.4% increase over 2017's $201.68.

August's dividend income came in at $415.34, a 30.3% increase over 2017's $318.76.

September's dividend income came in at $659.91, a 69.8% increase over 2017's $388.57.

Dividend Income - June 2016

This month's dividend income was our best ever, coming in at $708.31, a 111.2% increase over 2017's $335.36.

Dividend Income - May 2018

This month's dividend income came in at $353.96, a 83.4% increase over 2017's $192.99.

Dividend Income - January to April 2018

Since I dropped the ball on posting these past 3 months, I decided to combine all the dividend updates for January to April into a single post... 

January's dividend income came in at $378.69, a 3.3% decrease over 2017's $391.59.

February's dividend income came in at $301.75, a 13.0% increase over 2017's $266.96.

March's dividend income came in at $519.18, a 70.4% increase over 2017's $304.71.

April's dividend income came in at $386.12, a 500.7% increase over 2017's $64.28.

Dividend Income - 2017 Overview

Last year's dividend income came in at $3,783.58, a 7% increase over 2016's $3,522.80. Definitely not as exciting as the previous years were (52% in 2015 and 21% in 2016). Ever since we started investing in 2012, we have received $12,967.97 in dividends.

We are on track to earn at least $4,057.96 in 2018, but with continued contributions and hopefully more dividend increases, it should be even higher!

Dividend Income - December 2017

This month's dividend income came in at $693.36, a huge 56.5% increase over 2017's $442.94! This was mainly due to several ETFs paying their annual/biannual dividends in the same month. I definitely don't foresee this amount of monthly dividend income until next December. 

Recent Transactions - November 2017

This month we finally contributed to our IRAs for 2017 and started new positions in:

• Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) with 133 shares for $5,512.48 and
• Assurant Insurance (AIZ) with 55 shares for $5,428.50.

These two stocks provide us with an additional $198.37 annually based on their most recent dividends, bringing our total dividend income up to $4,169.72/year.
