Dividend Income - March 2014

Once a month I will be updating the dividend that I received for that month.


March 2014 Dividends Received:



  • Realty Income Corp. (O) - $4.01
  • American Rlty Cap. PPTYS (ARCP) - $10.58
  • McDonald Corp (MCD) - $9.72
  • Chevron Corp (CVX) - $10.00
  • International Business Machines (IBM) - $5.70
  • Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) - $8.19
  • Aflac Inc. (AFL) -$9.25
  • BP plc (BP) - $30.78
  • Target Corp (TGT) - $8.60
  • Ensco (ESV) - $33.75


    • Total dividends for the month of March: $130.58

     This is the first time I passed the $100 mark. I am very happy with the progress so far. Next mark is $200 for a month. Can't wait to hit that one.

    One of my many Goals is to receive $2,000 in dividends for this year.

    My total for the year so far is $308.00. This makes me 15.4% complete in reaching my goal. This goal of $2k of dividends looks like it will be a tough one. 

     I believe the best dividend anyone can receive is investing in oneself.

     I am currently studying for Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA Security). I will take the test by the end of April. This will very much help me to pass my goal for $2k in dividends for the year because I would be investing about $2,400 easy every month or more.

    All of the income that I'm receiving from dividends are all being reinvested. I'm currently reinvesting it all into KMI.

    Also, don't forget to check out my Dividend Income page which shows the total income by month as well as a chart with the progress.

     Thank you for reading


    Was March a good month for you? I bet it was.

      $130 is a great amount, especially since you haven't been at it all that long. What's really nice is the fairly tight grouping of your monthly totals. It makes it a bit easier for planning purposes and allows for better DCA/FRIPping since you have a fairly consistent amount each month. Keep up the good work!

      Good looking month there. Collecting $100 that you didn't need to work for is pretty awesome when you stop and think about it!

      FF,

      Great month. Huge improvement for you. Congrats!

      And best of luck with your test and impending job opportunity. $2,400+ per month to invest sounds fantastic! I don't hit that level every month, but when I'm able to invest $2,500 or so in one month I feel really good about my early retirement prospects.

      Best wishes.

        Thanks DM,

        Studying really hard and i am hopeful for a pay raise. This will very much help me to invest $2400 a month.

      Congrats on crossing the $100/month mark.

      Good luck on your upcoming exam. I can't imagine investing 2.4k per month. It's going to be sweet when it happens.

      Take care.

      Very good progress FF! We own a lot of the same stocks. I too passed the $100 per month mark this month ;)
      I have not received my BP's dividend yet though (owned since october 2013). I was expecting to see it the 28. Hopefully will show up in my sharebuilder's account soon.
      Take care.
