DFG March 2018 Dividend Income

The goal of dividend growth investing is to create an income stream from many companies that increase their dividend each year.  To protect the income stream they should also be a diversified set of stocks across the many sectors of the industry.  Let's see what companies worked for me and deposited those profits into my accounts.

Account	Company	Dividend ($)
Brokerage	International Business Machines Corp.	7.5
Brokerage	Old Republic International Corporation	76.64
IRA	Exxon Mobil Corporation	85.47
IRA	International Business Machines Corp.	100.5
IRA	Target Corporation	62
IRA	Archer Daniels Midland Co	33.5
IRA	Whitestone REIT	9.5
IRA	Old Republic International Corporation	161.66
IRA	Delta Air Lines, Inc.	0.31
IRA	Duke Energy Corp	5.34
IRA	Flowers Foods, Inc.	5.44
IRA	Finish Line Inc	2.88
IRA	GameStop Corp.	38
IRA	QUALCOMM, Inc.	10.26
IRA	Brinker International, Inc.	8.36
IRA	Mercury General Corporation	62.5
RothIRA	International Business Machines Corp.	6
RothIRA	VF Corp	0.46
IRA	Old Republic International Corporation	39
HSA	Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares	5.14
	March Total	720.46

This represents a 39% increase of dividends received in March of last year.  If I were to leave my current portfolio alone and not deposit any more cash, in 20 years I could retire and live off of it.  That gives me some solace as I continue my job search. 

I hope you had a great month.  I look forward to reading your updates.

Regards,
