Yes it is time to tally up those dividends. And after counting on with my fingers and toes I finally got the number. All of this was earned while sleeping.
For August I was paid 84.03 by 8 companies which is moving up but still my lowest month. This month was about 20 percent higher than may. 8 companies decided to pay me this month. This averaged out to 10.50 per company.
With this months haul it brings my yearly haul to 846.56. This brings my anticipated total based on monthly average for the year to 1269.84. Now the unanswered question will be if September will bring me my first 200.00 dollar month? Stay tuned to find out.

Congrats on receiving an increasing amount of dividends for the year Doug! I’m not sure what your previous years’ of dividends are like, but you’ve already received a good amount for the year.
Good luck for next month 🙂

I’m not above next year yet but should be there no later than November. But most likely September then any stock I buy after is gravy. And I have one I won’t get a dividend on till February I think. So I will add even more next year.

$200 is great. Once you get to an average of $200 a month, that’s $2,400 a year, reinvested, this starts becoming a serious snowball.

I was thinking about that this past week except at a higher number. Get to 5000 a year which hopefully I can do by the time I’m 50

I reinvest most of them the only ones I generally don’t are the ones that I can’t get 1 share in a year and a couple of my BDC to have more cash as those are not part of my core profile.

Wow $850 extra in free money, can’t argue with that! My 401k paid me dividends this month which I didn’t even know about until yesterday. It’s so passive when I don’t even know I was paid money!

Thanks for stopping by. Someday hopefully that will be a monthly number. Always blessed for what I get. Always a good thing when you get dividends when you don’t expect them. I have a mutual fund with a different company that pays dividends but I don’t count them on here never really thought about it. It’s not much but every little bit helps
