It's time for my May dividend update! For the month of May I was able to earn $366.90 in dividend income. This is a YOY increase of nearly 22% which I'm very happy with. Next month looks to be even better.
Last month I made one purchase and I made no sales. I also received 3 dividend raises.

Nice May totals...I need to grab a few shares of GIS and O. They are popular buys lately at current levels and would certainly help out our FEB/MAY/AUG/NOV dividends. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Best wishes and continued success on your journey. AFFJ
Thanks! I hear you there, I recently purchased O this week but I also thought about adding more GIS.
DeleteVery nice list of companies that paid you last month. Very nicely done. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThanks BHL
DeleteCongrats on another awesome month! :) We have five companies in common from your list. Looking forward to June's report.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up & best wishes,

Looks like I'm in good company. Thanks for the visit DL.
DeleteA lot of great names paying you last month. Nice total for May and awesome year over year growth. Stock purchases, increases and reinvestment all help move that snowball along. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteNext month should be a good one for most of us too!

Wow, that's some serious income there. I can't wait to get there!
DeleteYou also have some stocks I don't own yet but have my eye on like QCOM.
Greetings from Hungary. This country also has passive income builders, but only very few (I am one of them).
ReplyDeleteSincerely,

Beautiful country. Hopefully there will be more investors over there soon. Thanks for the visit Tibor!
DeleteNice looking chart Captain, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dream, thanks for stopping by. Also glad to hear you are debt free. I also paid off my mortgage and I love it.
DeleteCongrats Captain. Very nice results.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty happy with my progress considering I don't have that much to invest each month and I can still see considerable YOY increases.
DeleteAwesome report Captain Dividend. Can't Argue with $366 in dividends and 22% year-to-year increase.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, I am very happy with that type of increase. Contributions plus dividend increases really works wonders for your bottom line.
DeleteNice income capt! Can't wait for general mills to pay me next quarter.
ReplyDeleteHaha I get the same way after a purchase. Grats on your first US purchase in GIS.
DeleteNice numbers. I've been sitting on cash for the past few weeks. Waiting for the next correction before I buy stocks.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told I have been saving cash as well. I still do my usual ~$1000-$1200 month purchases but after that my extra cash is going into my bank.
DeleteI do expect to buy a new car and by 'new' I just mean a newer car than my old 2002 ford focus which is still running great but one day it won't be and I want to be ready. So I'm saving some money for that and some other upgrades around the house.
good job some good companies paying you and it looks like that chart is moving in the right direction. keep it up
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are headed in the right direction as well. Looks like you're going to crush last years numbers.
DeleteGuess I'm late to the party but I just had to weigh in. That AT&T payment is gorgeous! I've been thinking of adding more into my portfolio lately and your post just makes me want to do it even more. Great month, Captain. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYa I hear ya. Gotta love those triple digit numbers! :-o
