Dividend Income from YOU the Bloggers – October 2021

Another month is in. October was an interesting month in the stock market.  From hitting all time highs at 4,700 in the S&P 500, to new COVID-19 variants, inflation rising and interest rates.  Further, crypto currency continues to make news, as Bitcoin and Ethereum were setting record highs as well.  Just incredible.  As you will see, plenty of bloggers set new personal records! Let’s jump right in to the October installment of our Dividend Income from YOU the Bloggers!

A Frugal Family’s Journey – $240.94 – Let’s kick this party off in STYLE! AFFJ is BACK and buying dividend stocks like crazy. The October purchases added $148 in forward dividend income, annually. Keep the snowball pushing forward and watch your income GROW!

Dividend Dozer – $117.35 – Interestingly, Dozer didn’t add any new dividend payers this month. Two huge purchases in stocks you already owned catapulted that dividend income higher than last year. Plus, dividend increases added over $8. Nice job.

Dividend Pursuit – $403.10 – The passive income is flowing for Dividend Pursuit. Not only did you receive $400 in dividend income, you also earned over $1,400 in rental income as well. Cha-ching!

A Dividend Dream! – $94 – Now that Merck dividend was SICK compared to last year. Because of that new investment, your income grew by $34 compared to last year. That made a huge difference, especially since it accounted for 33% of your income!

Dividends and Hobbies – $857.56 – You said it best. What a way to start the quarter. An 18% increase compared to last year is nothing to sneeze at. Love that you already passed last year’s dividend income total with two months to go. Everything else is a bonus from here on out.

Dividend Quest – $603.99 – Isn’t bad? You have to give yourself more credit. You received over $600 in passive income. You didn’t have to lift a finger. That is freaking amazing. Nice job Quest!!

My Dividend Snowball – $4,090.98 – I can’t even begin to say anything here.  Over $4,000 in October.  Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) brought you a massive dividend income payment, but it’s growing, as well.  That is not even to mention your TD Bank (TD) position.  You are rolling in the Canadian Banking Dividends, no doubt.

Dividend Portfolio – $36.62 – Nice job with owning real estate, though, and at least experimenting.  You are going for “it” right?! Further, the dividend stocks you own are ROCK solid and are not going anywhere, with a number of dividend aristocrats, such as, Coke (KO) and Realty Income (O).

Reverse the Crush – $77.82 – There we go, almost doubling up since last year!  In addition, you also benefited from the raise from AbbVie (ABBV), have to love the monster increases.  I really need to look at Telus and Rogers, as I own quite a bit of Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T).  Keep it up!

Wallet Squirrel – $52.26 – There we go, getting over the $50 mark.  I own all 3 stocks that paid you with Realty Income, Iron Mountain (IRM) and Cisco (CSCO).  I’d like to think we are all in good company!  Nice job, again!

Engineer My Freedom – 98.19 (Euros) – Pretty simple month of dividends for EMF. 4 companies paid you a dividend. A nice, short and sweet list.  Love that 78 Euro dividend you received from Altria. That’s a smoking hot dividend!

Speaking of motivating, your income this year CRUSHED last year’s results. That’s how you keep things moving.

Project 2035 – $107 – Excellent job crossing the three digit mark P2035. What I love is that 5 of the companies were new dividend payments compared to last year. Just goes to show the power of moving cash off the sidelines and buying income producing assets. The results speak for themselves.

Simple Dividend Growth – $3,310.23 – Mic Drop for SDG. You earned over $3,000 in dividend income in an “off month.” What more can we really say? As fellow Iron Mountain shareholders outselves, we are very jealous of the $500 dividend your received from IRM.

Dividend Earner – $823 – Give yourself more credit Dividend Earner. You may think that $800+ in dividend income is nothing special; however, it is an impressive amount of income that was earned without even having to lift a finger.

Dividend Portfolio (Netherlands) – 127 (Euro) – The slight dividend increase compared to last year was due to the sale of your AT&T position. Truth be told, its going to be difficult to replace the income that our favorite telecom stocks.
