Each month I will update my spreadsheet and post the results here.  Each month is one step closer to financial freedom and getting to spend more time with my family.

2014 Dividends

Image
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

DFG May/June 2018 Dividend Income

Image
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
