May 2016 was the best month of my life…hands down. And it had absolutely nothing to do with investing. I’m sure those that have been following along can guess what happened. If not, no worries, I will have some blog posts soon to fill you all in on what exactly happened soon. It was also a great month for dividend income as I saw some growth compared to May 2015. Let’s take a look at the dividend income I received during the last 31 days! Here is my May 2016 Dividend Income summary!
I was laying in bed thinking of this day and age, the performance of companies and how critical attributes are in determining what is the absolute most important metric for a dividend stock you own. I began reviewing the list of stocks that I currently own, you name it – Procter & Gamble (PG), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), AT&T (T) and other big dividend aristocrats and I finally saw the trend of what made my stomach feel uneasy and what made it feel comfortable.

Spring is finally in the air (no matter how cold it is where you live). March is officially over and you know what that means….baseball season is here! Oh wait, this is an investing blog. We mean that we all get the chance to put together our Dividend Income summary reports and find out how well we are progressing in this journey towards financial freedom. You all know the drill by now. Each month, we pull together a report of dividend income from many other bloggers in the community to see their progress! We wish we could summarize them all, trust us.

The reason why I specifically mention the quarter-end, as this is typically a larger than normal month for dividend income, as there are substantially more payers in the U.S. that pay on those specific months as opposed to others. This also marks my fifth busy season as an auditor being completed and I can wake up on Saturday not feeling like I need to be working for the firm, feels nice. This is also one of the exciting time periods where we will read on individuals breaking their record for dividend income for the month! All great news here. Without any more introduction, let’s take a look at what Dividend Income was received for March 2016!
Another month down and 1/6th of the way there for the full year. It was 64 degrees in Cleveland during the final days of February and I cannot believe the weather is acting the same as the market – just never know what you’ll get!

Without further-a-do, let’s see how February played out for me!

YES! January of 2016 is already in the books. Can you believe it? Already one month down and here we are, getting started with the first monthly dividend income post for the new year. I am pumped.

January was a crazy month in the stock market, but we like crazy, right? You betcha. Without further a-do, let’s check out the January Dividend Income Total!
