Happy New Year everyone!  2014 is officially in the books and we turn the page to a new, exciting year.  2015 will be the year of major moves, as we all continue to build on our success and grow our passive income.  You know that dividend income we all received this year, we will receive more this year just from the power of DRIP and increasing dividends (See the impact of dividend growth on your portfolio).  Since the year is over, I wanted to take one final look at the dividend income I received in 2014 and review my December 2014 totals.  I have a surprise in store for everyone, possibly a new dividend record for me!
