June 2017 Dividends

Ah the feeling of sweet hard cold cash rolling into my accounts.  It was my best month so far this year.  $450.41 total which included $423.25 into my IRA and another $27.16 into my regular (taxable) account.  I don't include my regular account in my income as that is always reinvested into more companies which keeps the snowball growing.

Overall there were 8 increases.  Some were double digit growth and some < 1%.  Below is the list and any notes I made.

Compared to last year it has been a welcome jump back up and above 2015.  Last year the portfolio was getting restructured so there were a few months of little to no dividends from my IRA.


Hopefully there will be another jump soon when I rollover my previous job into my IRA.  It is always good to get away from high expense and poorly performing funds to companies of your own choosing.  With the benefit of no expenses and the dividend growth machine I can't wait to see how they perform compared to the funds they came from.

I am off on vacation next week to Mackinac Island to enjoy the Great Lakes and some of the clearest waters around.

Happy dividend collecting,
Dividend Family Guy

    Nice results for the month of June. A lot of common names paying us both. I still want ORI in my portfolio one of these days. Keep up the good work and enjoy your trip!

Will Dividends Teach My Kids to Work Hard?

After reading an article about education and learning from Mr. Money Mustache last week I starting thinking about my kids and their upbringing vs. how I was raised.  There was lots of discipline but also a tremendous amount of freedom.  That combined with loving parents taught me many lessons in life that I believe have led me to a great career and the joy of raising a large family.  The one thing that worries me the most is a fear that my children do not value gifts or money they receive as much as I did as a child. As a child I remember talking with my sister days before my birthday.  We share the same birthday one year apart.  We would spend the time talking excitedly about what we might get for our birthday.  Gifts were usually only on birthdays or major holidays.  Easter baskets filled with candy, or presents on Christmas or birthdays. Growing up with one TV that didn’t get the best reception left us with plenty of time to day drea...

What to write about when you have no money to invest?

Image
Without any money to invest from January all I could do is screen and learn about some new stocks that came up this month.  It is my hope still to save enough where I can actually invest on a regular basis again.  Part of me wants to start using loyal3 or computershare.com .  Buy for free and sell for free on Loyal3 or for a fee on Computershare.  That way I can continue to invest in some of the strong dividend payers these companies allow you to buy.  The other part wants simplicity and is willing to pay the fee to keep all my money in one place with one tax document.   The third part just reminded me my goal is to first rebuild an emergency fund.  That part is such a downer and is no fun.  The fourth part is my wife who wants me to put any free money into home improvements.  I avoid that conversation at all costs.   The house will hold up and last longer than me.  My time is what I want not a nicer house. I cou...

The Cost of A Vacation for Six

Image
All investing and no fun can lead to a happy me but a not so happy family .  I am the only one who actually doesn't mind managing the finances and money matters in my family.  The kids are slowly learning and my wife leaves it to me since I use my computer and online services.  Both systems work but my system allows me to get things done faster and produce reports I enjoy studying. Here is the breakdown of our 7 night trip to the beach and a 2 day visit with my brother: Lodging $1,966 This was the largest expense.  We stayed at hotels during the trip there and while visiting my brother.  Luckily we have a relative that works at a major hotel chain and is able to pass a discount on to us.  The remainder of it which was the big chunk was the condo on the beach that we stayed at.   I found it as one of the deals on Kayak.com .  Overall the site was easy to use and compare different places.  Unfortunately I should have listened to ...
