Dividend Income Report – Half Year

Dividend Income Report

So, we are half way through the year, and I’m pumped to share my dividend income report.

It’s only been 10 months since I modified my investing plan as a dividend growth investor, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision!  I have had actual cash deposited into my account every month for doing nothing more than some research, clicking a mouse, and making some smart investment buys.

Below is the graph of the last 12 months of dividend income.  It’s easy to see that I began this journey towards the end of last year when the monthly totals begin to rise.

I have already had three months of breaking $100 in dividend payments this year.  I’m amazed!

I made some good buys right before some of the stocks hit their Ex-Dividend Date.  So I was included in almost immediate distributions from the shares of companies that I bought. I always try to a buy stocks before their ex-dates.

Here is the Dividend Portfolio

 

This year I’ve already received over $535 in dividend payments.  This puts me on track to break my 2015 dividend income goal of $1,000.

Now, I realize this isn’t anywhere close to enough money to live off of in retirement.  This post is meant as a testament of the dividend investing strategy.

I started off small and should break $1,000 this year!  I can’t wait to highlight the Growth portion of the strategy.  I haven’t been doing it long enough to show meaningful numbers yet.  But, they are coming.

Are you on track to reach your 2015 dividend goal?

I'm a dividend growth investor who is aiming to retire early in 4 years at the age of 45. My goal is to live off the income my dividend portfolio and rental property produce exclusively and leave the corporate rat race. I hope you will join me in this journey!

    Excellent growth Blake! It’s really cool to look at the increase every three months (for example Nov-Feb-May = $21-$39-$76). You will be over $100 each month in no time. Keep putting that money to work!

      Hi DB,

      The results have been pretty solid so far. I’m really looking forward to the next six months of dividend income… I should destroy my first year dividend income goals!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Great job! Very inspirational. I’ve been doing the same thing for the past 10 years. Had a major setback after two heart attacks and some major medical bills, but I dove back in and am rebuilding my portfolio. Keep the articles coming, I’m always looking to learn new things.
