Now is the time we really start to make the final push towards our final goals, investing metrics and dividend goals. Now… to the numbers!

Bert’s October Dividend Income Summary
Another month down. Holy smokes, we are only two months away from 2016. Man oh man does time fly by. Kind of scary when you think about it. Now that October has come to an end, it is time to put together my monthly dividend income summary and dissect one of the best feelings out there…receiving a dividend for doing absolutely nothing. Without further ado, let’s review my October dividend income summary!
Recent Buy (KMI) & Crossing an Investing Milestone
It turns out that Lanny was not the only one with an itch to buy. I have been watching the market closely over the last few weeks calculating an entry point for one of the stocks on my watch list, WalMart, when another great dividend stock appeared out of nowhere. Just like Lanny, I couldn’t resist purchasing one of the darlings of the dividend growth investing community. This week, I also invested in Kinder Morgan (KMI).
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – KMI
Back at it again! Finally, after I just stated I haven’t made a purchase in weeks and nothing looked appetizing, I made a purchase on October 22nd – when the market was…. ALL GREEN almost.

Bert’s August Dividend Income Summary
Last month Lanny beat me to the punch and unleashed an amazing $740 dividend income month in July. It was a tough act to follow, especially considering that I came close but fell short of beating him. While it is unlikely to happen again, there is one thing I can promise….I will get my article out first this month! That really is not the point here though. We write these articles monthly so we can track our progress and see how far along we have come in such a short period of time. We have been in the dividend investing community for nearly a year and a half now and writing this article each month never gets old. With that being said, let’s take a look at my August dividend income summary.
Investing Lesson Learned: Always Have a Watch List Prepared
This week, I learned a valuable investing lesson that caused me to miss a great opportunity in the market. Luckily, this lesson did not result in a realized loss like lessons in the past, so I can’t complain too much. However, I did miss a golden opportunity to capitalize on Mr. Market taking a crazy turn (even more so than a few months ago). What lesson did I learn and how will I apply it going forward?
July Dividend Income from YOU the bloggers
We first published this article in May and decided to bring it back for another installment this July! One of the best aspects of the dividend growth community is the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and motivation that assist each and every one of us in our relentless pursuit of financial freedom. This article will contain a summary of July Dividend Income blog posts throughout the community. They are in no particular order and if we inadvertently omitted our income summary, please share your results in the comments section and we will do our best to include you going forward. July was a huge month for the two of us, so let’s see if the dividend investing community shared similar successes!
