About Me

I am the Dividend Family Guy and welcome to my blog.

 Where did that name come from?   Let’s break it down.  The first, Dividend, is my style of investing and why most of this writing is occurring in the first place.  The next part of my name comes from the love for my family.  I am a father of 5 kids and have been married to a wonderful wife for twelve years.  My family is one of my top priorities and providing for them is what I do.  Now I need to start saving and investing for them as well.  The last bit is also who I am.  I am a normal guy living a normal life (if you can call life that).

 I welcome all readers with different saving and investing strategies.  I learn something from every comment left and look forward to always growing and learning.

 My first post on the Dividend Family Guy blog has some additional information.

    Congrats on starting your blog and starting on your journey. I'm sure that's got to be tough with one income and a 6 person household. Just keep at it!

    Thank you for the positive words. One reason I started this blog was to connect with people with similar goals. It makes achieving them easier when you have someone to share with and learn from.

    Hi DividendFamilyGuy, we’ve really enjoyed reading your posts on dividend income.
    We started a site as well on dividend investing and wanted to let you know about it, hopefully we can earn a spot on your blogroll if you think it would be useful to your readers.
    Thanks, Kemp (http://smartdividendstocks.com/)

    Hey DFG, we both have something fairly significant in common - I am also responsible for feeding 7 mouths, including my own, on a regular basis. My wife and I are also in the thick of it with raising 5 kids whose appetites only continue to grow :)

2014 Dividends

Sunny day at work. It has been a good day so far.  Donated blood, the sun is shining and summing up my dividends for 2014.  It was a big jump from last year (mainly because I actual bought something).  Now that I got the ball rolling it will be tougher to top a   814% year of year growth for all accounts.  This was largely in part to my IRA which I can't touch until much later in life.  If I just do the YOYG for my taxable account I get a more realistic growth of 224%.   I was never enjoyed math even though I had to go up to Calculus III in college.  So I appreciate the gift of the internet which let me know how to calculate growth .  I haven't set a goal yet but as long as I contribute at least the same amount as last year I will be very happy. My largest payers this year were Windstream in my taxable account and SeaDrill in my IRA.  Well that will be changing this year since SDRL eliminated the dividend .   Well as I have read in your posts and comments many tim

Just a quick post that I am still alive and investing (and I have a new job.)  There is much going on in the DFG household right now that I will post in a few weeks or months ;-).  Also, once I transfer my 401k from my previous company which doesn't pay dividends to my IRA there will be another big boost to dividend income.  Below is just a quick snapshot where I am at year to date. Monthly Dividends per Year Month 2016 2017 2018 January $64.97 $8.95 $1,888.84 February $191.28 $275.61 $625.06 March $352.10 $440.32 $720.46 April $72.44 $19.14 $98.55 May $133.78 $375.12 $623.41 June $1.64 $458.51 $767.35 July $2.07 $25.78 $0.00 August $266.35 $374.19 $0.00 September $353.09 $492.02 $0.00 October $10.82 $36.30 $0.00 November $270.28 $329.14 $0.00 December $361.71 $399.05 $0.00 YTD Total $2,080.53 $3,234.13 $4,723.67 YOY Growth 55.45% 46.06% Happy 4th, Dividend Family Guy

August 2014 Dividends

It is almost the middle of September and I am finally getting around to posting last month's dividends .  Boy does time fly when you go to work Monday-Friday and then spend time with your family in the evenings.  Once the weekend hits we try to do something fun on Saturday and then Sunday is church and catch up.  Sometimes I do miss the days when I was actually bored and had to think of things to do.  If I had taken that time in my youth when I was bored and read about dividend investing and saving money things would be different now.  The earlier you start investing the better off you are in the long run.  Time is an investors best friend. So there are the numbers.  Another good month for the IRA with $136 dollars of income I can't touch until much later in life.  I am still including it as seeing those dividends grow is a morale booster for me.  My IRA is about 4 times the size of my taxable account so it will always outpace the one I hold at www.sharebuilder.com
