September Dividend Income from YOU the Bloggers
September is over and a lot of us haven taken the first few weeks of October to look back and reflect on the crazy month of September. The turbulent market presented many great buying opportunities, as evidenced by what felt like a daily purchase article on our website, and benefits such as DRIPing at a lower price. Preparing a dividend income summary article that includes the results of a few others in the community (I wish we could include all) has been a pleasure over the last few months. It allows us to share our successes together and push each other to knock out our goals so we can all escape this insane rat race. We all have the same end game after all! Let’s dive into the September edition of our monthly community dividend income summary.

Bert’s Quarterly Goals Review – Q3 2015
Even after writing my September Dividend Income Summary, I still can’t believe that the third quarter of 2015 has come to a close. Holy cow, where has all of the time gone?

Let’s take a look at my progress through the first nine months of 2015!
Bert’s September Dividend Income Summary
September was a crazy month and it flew by. It felt like every day Lanny and I were either receiving a dividend, purchasing a stock, or watching for a dividend increase announcement. There was just a ton going on. September was also huge for me since I was able to knock out my first 2015 goal: Investing $15,000 in “New Capital” in 2015. With the recent downturn, I have felt as compelled as ever to maintain a low cash balance to purchase some great discounted dividend growth stocks. Now that the month is over, I can finally breathe and take a step back to assess my monthly dividend income and compare the total to prior periods. Let’s see the results for September.
Lanny’s 3rd Quarter Goals Check Up
Now that 3 full quarter’s are in the book, it’s a great time to see where I stand in comparison to Q2, but also to the 2015 goals I set for myself towards the end of last year.

After all of the traveling, weddings, investing and life experiences – am I on track? Let’s find out! Continue reading
Lanny’s September Dividend Income
September… ah September. The leaves are changing and so did my dividend income for the month. It’s a wonderful quarter end, which for me and most investors – typically means a larger than normal month of dividend income to our portfolio. Most of the big blue chip companies pay on the calendar quarter end and I own quite a bit that does so. As the leaves change color and the temperature begins to cool in Ohio, our portfolios heat up with checks coming into our mailbox from all of the wonderful companies that we own. Now… to the numbers!
