November Dividend Income and Net Worth Report – 2019

It’s astonishing how quickly this year has flown by… they say time flies when you’re having fun.  I must have had a blast this year as I feel like I just woke up and the year is almost over!  Crazy!

November Dividend Income

This month I received $1,442.36 in dividend income!  On average, I was paid $37.96 from 38 different companies!  This month’s dividend income is a great 29.06% increase over November 2108.
To put things in dollar figures, that’s exactly $324.73 more dividend income than last November!

Dividend Income - November 2019

Here is a chart of my passive dividend income progress over the last 5 years.

Here are the dividend stock purchases I’ve made between November 2018 and 2019 that have fueled this dividend income growth.

The dividend portfolio has been updated.

This November’s dividend income covers my utilities, insurance, phone and food for the month!

November Dividend Growth (Dividend Increases)

Below are the realized dividend increases I received this month.

This month I received  5 increases.  Three of my holdings increased their dividends by over 10%! $TNX with a 16.8% increase contributed the most to the portfolio’s dividend growth this month.

Dividend Increases - November 2019

November’s dividend increase adds $54 in annual dividend income.  This dividend growth is $37.80 more than I received November 2018.  This is healthy growth and I’m very happy with the results.  November’s dividend increases are the equivalent of investing an extra $1,542.86 of new money at 3.5% yield!

Net Worth

Net worth sputtered higher surpassing last month’s record high!

Let’s do the numbers…

Cash

Cash edged up a little last month.  The majority of this is due to an accounting error.  I’ve forgotten to account for the interest we are earning on our high yield savings account.  I guess I could add it to the dividend income section… but it’s not really dividend income.  I suppose I could list it as Interest on Cash – INT.  Anyway, this month it was $284 and last month it was $310.

Real Estate

I went into this a great deal in last month’s report but I’m still not over it… so I’ll summarize.

We got screwed – a national home builder built us a crappy house, we told them it was crappy and didn’t want to buy it, then they stole our earnest money.

So… now we are spending a little extra time, effort and cash fixing our current home for a possible sale in the future.  We are a little burnt out from the home selling process so we may just be happy with where we are for a little while longer.

As far as our rental is concerned, everything is great.  Our tenant payed on time and we haven’t heard a peep about repairs.

Wrap-up

I’m thrilled with the progress I’m making!  The dividend investing strategy is continuing to shine for me.  I hope you are experiencing the same kind of success – or greater success of course – in your investing journey!
