In comparison, last years July total was $179.34 which means my dividend's for the month have grown by 43% year over year! I was also able to cover 11.5% of my living expenses in July from my dividend income. Looking forward to next month as it should be an all time record month for me.
July Purchases
- Kinder Morgan (KMI) - 31 Shares @ $36.50
- Realty Income (O) - From .1895 to .19 (+0.2 %)
- Coca Cola (KO) - $20.13
- Glaxso Smith Kline (GSK) - $30.22
- Philip Morris (PM) - $14.00
- Altria (MO) - $49.40
- Realty Income (O) - $19.00
- Piedmont Natural Gas (PNY) - $52.80
- Sysco (SYY) - $19.80
- Hatteras Financial (HTS) - $27.50
- Kraft Heinz (KHC) - $23.65
We are neck and neck! We came in at $252 for July. I hear you about the hindsight though... But you will go crazy thinking about all the stocks you picked at the wrong time. Keep trying to pick the stocks with what you feel is the best value and hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Captain, keep up the good work!

Sounds like I'm in good company then. Your 83% YOY increase in dividends is impressive. Keep it up over there.
DeleteAwesome progress Captain...that chart speaks for itself! 43% year-over year gains is a great accomplishment! Way to grow that passive income stream.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on setting a record next month as you are predicting. Regards, AFFJ
Thanks AFFJ , I wish I could keep up that 40+ rate for years, wouldn't that be something. I'm definitely looking forward to Augusts total. :-)
DeleteCongrats on teh steady progress, Captain. A 43% increase from a year ago is truly remarkable. Keep up the great work

Thanks for stopping by Roadmap you had quite a month as well. :-o
DeleteKeep it up Captain. Always nice to see these monthly Income Reports. What a wonderful feeling. Keep hustling it up. Dont' stop. Cheers bud.
ReplyDeleteI do look forward to reporting my progress even with an off month like I had this month I know my results will continue to improve over time. Keep hustlin!
DeleteHi CD,
ReplyDeleteAlthough the absolute number may be relatively low, your progress is still amazing!
The companies you are invested in, are very solid as well.
By the way, I hear you on KMI. I bought them for $34.79. We gotta have confidence though. It's very likely the value will start rising again! :)
To a better August!
Best wishes, DfS
With the markets dropping by about 1000 points from the highs it's been a buyers market here. There's some cheap stocks out there right now indeed. Coupled with low commodity prices KMI is looking better and better. I don't think oil will be this cheap forever.
DeleteHi CD
ReplyDeleteGreat dividend income, we got the same income as you :-) , due to KRFT huge dividend, keep the snowball rolling.
That KRFT dividend sure was nice wasn't it! It helped me make a few purchases last month to keep that snowball going. Thanks FF
DeleteWoohoo over $250 in dividend income. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou got it, looking forward to hitting that $300 mark now! Maybe next month if things work out.
DeleteThat's some hefty growing income there, Captain. Great work! We all have those purchases we wished were timed better, but I suppose we can't win them all. Thanks for sharing and I hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteIn 10 years I doubt I'll regret the timing here but I guess it's natural to have those feelings at least a little bit. Gotta take the good with the bad, nobody's perfect. Nice job adding to WMT by the way.
DeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteThat chart is a beautiful thing. Up, up, and away. Keep it up. Consistency and patience definitely pays off.
Cheers!
Always nice to have the king of dividend investing visit. The chart is certainly shaping up nicely I have to admit. All of that money I didn't have to work for other than some research. Gotta love that. Thanks for the visit DM.
DeleteCD,
ReplyDelete43% growth, no big deal. Crossing $250, no big deal. You are on a roll over there, keep it up - wish we all had more dividend increases in July. Always August, right?
-Lanny
You know what, I never really noticed that. Here's looking forward to August then!
DeleteI love it Captain. Awesome dividends from great stocks. Stay the course and 10, 20 years from now we can both laugh about how it is was to reach financial independence!!!
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteI love the month dividend graph. Up , up and away! Keep up the good work!
$250 in free passive income! Definitely better then letting your bank take care of your money :-)
