May 2018 Dividend Income

Another month and another set of dollars hits the brokerage account. I enjoy publishing these monthly dividend income reports as I have gained a much better understanding in how much of my passive income is coming in every month and how much it is growing over time. For the month of May I have received a total of 10 diversified direct deposits in the form of dividends straight to my brokerage account. Here it is!

 

AT&T, Inc. (T)	$68.39
General Mills, Inc. (GIS)	$22.48
Verizon Communications, Inc. (VZ)	$49.55
British American Tobacco (BTI)	$15.87
Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI)	$57.61
Procter & Gamble Co. (PG)	$28.98
Realty Income Corp. (O)	$19.63
STAG Industrial, Inc. (STAG)	$5.37
Apple, Inc. (AAPL)	$28.92
Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST)	$7.41
Total	$304.01

 

When statistically comparing last years dividend income total from May 2017 to May 2018, it represents a negative 1.5% for a year over year decreased dividend income growth. The decrease in growth is primarily due to last year COST paying a massive special dividend.

I will DRIP the following upcoming month: BKE, GIS, KMI, PG, VIAB, VNQ & VYM.

The dividend income page is updated accordingly.

Thank you for reading & have a great day!
