Dividend Income History

Now let's take a look at dividend income history in tabular and graphical form:

Month2014201520162017201820192020
Jan0$14.38$14.42$70.45$72.34$97.11$237.62

Jun$6.69$47.51$90.97$198.86$259.18$195.35$473.99
Jul0$18.99$51.37$168.64$102.00$80.81$219.55
Aug$33.96$50.11$86.07$156.46$183.50$192.45$220.94
Sep$54.75$55.61$101.70$226.17$192.40$211.61$579.94
Oct$10.94$14.42$72.53$79.06$133.64$78.18$132.19
Nov$48.79$50.11$103.31$158.18$184.42$167.86$241.77
Dec$63.55$49.89$168.03$234.71$255.99$315.70

Some strides were definitely made in November, earning the highest ever for that month. Looking back over the dividend history table, that makes 2020 the first year where each month triple figures were earned in dividend income. Hey, there's a positive for 2020!

Also, I have reached a point where I can probably pull back a bit from putting money in the online savings account, and can allocate some more to the brokerage account, so that should allow for more growth in the above numbers as we go into 2021.


Comparison With Last Quarter and Previous Year

Speaking of growth, we can look at the % change from the last quarter as well as a year ago in the below table:

%Chg Qtr%Chg Year
Nov 20209.43%44.03%

A nice modest increase from the last quarter, and substantial increase over the past year. The train will keep moving on into 2021, and I look forward to keep growing the dividend income. Hopefully the day will come soon when I can report monthly income in the quadruple digits.

So, that's a wrap for November 2020. I'm satisfied with the results, how about you? 

How was your November, let me know in the comments below!

Hello everyone, So all my April 2017 dividends are in, and there actually a couple days left in April, so I figured it would be good to get a jump on my dividend report.

I also received my yearly bonus at the end of March, so I put that money to work in April to give that

Regret and Hope

My feelings while engaging in investing, seem to exist on the spectrum between these two extremes: Regret I've only been investing outside of my 401(k) for a couple years. Once I started (a year before turning 40), and began understanding what I was doing, my initial feelings, beyond the initial excitement of "getting in the game", were feelings of regret. I was virtually kicking myself multiple times for starting this so late. First off, by this time I could have had a much bigger portfolio, paying much higher in dividends by now, if I had started upon employment after college. I might even be close to that early retirement number by now. Second, I think of all the money up to this point that was spent on nonsense that is either gone down the drain, or tied up in things that are sitting in my place of residence that I no longer use (my girlfriend and I will be soon starting a de-cluttering activity for my place to rid myself of such items). Now, I understand

March 2017 Dividends

Another month gone, and here we are in April. A great time to summarize my dividend income for March 2017. I've made a conscious effort, to not procrastinate with these updates, as I had a stretch where I was not publishing these until the next month was half over! Not a good look. To keep this top of mind, I decided to get on the ball once the month to be summarized ends. So here we are. As you follow along, you'll see as I did, that this turned to be a pretty good month! Let's get to the summary: Taxable Accounts Intel (INTC) - $2.86 Cummins (CMI) - $8.20 Target (TGT) - $28.80 Emerson (EMR) - $4.80 Compass Minerals (CMP) - $7.20 Flower Foods (FLO) - $18.88 Prospect Capital (PSEC) - $20.05 Qualcomm (QCOM) - $27.98 VF Corp.
