This was a big improvement over last quarter where I made $149.49 in June and more than double last years September total of $81.89 so I'm pretty happy with that. This month I made 2 purchases.

Congrats on the passive income
ReplyDeleteThanks Roadmap, you had quite a nice total as well this month. I hope to be at those levels soon!
DeleteIm certain you will. You have a nice trajectory that keeps building on the old total. Keep it up!
DeleteNice month. I like the steady progression in your dividend income. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, it's really easy to see the progression when you lay things out in chart form. As long as I can stick to my monthly contributions the chart should continue along a steady upward path. Gotta love that.
DeleteCongrats on another great month!
ReplyDeleteYou just barely missed the August total. Are you trying to even out the months so there is not just four big month totals while other months lag behind?
You are doing great! Keep on rolling with the plan it looks like it is working.
Hey SWAN, you got it. I'm trying to keep my months fairly even. I think I'm in the minority as most DGI's have huge months in September but then have much smaller October payments for example. Right or wrong it's the approach I'm talking. I just like the idea of a steady income each month. Thanks for the encouragement. :-o
DeleteCaptain,
DeleteI like your approach! I think it is a good strategy. Our bills usually come monthly not quarterly, so why not have it as steady as can. As long as can find enough great companies to invest in. That's one of the reasons I have so many monthly payers it increases each months amount by same amount and compounds more often.
I still do have some bigger months because the monthly ones are teamed up with companies like Boeing, McDonald's, Southside Bancshares, and ExxonMobil to add another layer for me.
More than doubled your september 2012 income, good work!
ReplyDeleteYa, if only that would happen every year that would be fantastic! Those kind of gains won't likely happen next year though. The capital I contribute to my account is fairly static on my end at this point so the growth will be steady. I think the days of doubling my yearly income will be behind me. However the gains will still be coming and that's what counts.
DeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteNice job! You're growing that passive income very nicely. The portfolio is expanding every single month both organically and from new investments. Keep up the great work.
Cheers!
You got it DM, I'm (we) are seeing growth from two sides of the same coin. Thanks for dropping by my neck of the woods.
