January & February 2025 Dividend Update

January & February 2025 Dividend Updates 

Wow!  The new year is almost a quarter over, where has the time gone?  It seems, like the time is just fly by.  There are a lot of financial hurdles, including talks of tariffs and inflation.  But, I continue to slowly build my portfolio and adding to my dividend pursuit to reach Financial Independence (FI).  

FI will be one of broken down by my three (3) pillars to cover my retirement.  

My first Pillars is Real estate income.  We own some rental property that will eventually cash flow close to $5000.00, in the near future as we continue to do some upgrades and getting the rent to market rate.

Second approach is my Dividend Income and side hustle.  Currently averaging $540.00 a month.  Some side hustle includes Notary work, some parking space rentals that are not part of the real estate portfolios.

Third approach is my Pension. As a federal employee, I will be receiving a modest income once I am ready to call it quits.  I plan to work another Three (3) to six (6) years.  Six years will bring me to 25 years of service.  There is a lot of talk with DOGE now influencing some policies in the federal government.  I won’t lie, it has cause some stress level. However, I maintain a long term view and I always plan to give 110% daily, in every Job I have had.

I am not counting with Social Security, but it will be an added bonus, if i do receive it by the time I reach 70 years old.

Now, without further ado, let’s review last two (2) months dividend income.

January 2025, we received $360.99, in dividend from various companies.  This number does not include our ROTH And IRA accounts.  

February 2025, we received a total of $470.29, in dividend from various companies as well. 

A bulk of the income comes from 4 main stocks monthly (MAIN, LTC, O, BNS. OHI and ABBV)

How did you do last month?

Hope you had a good month as well.

Are you continuing to investing in Dividend paying stocks despite current market conditions?

December 2024 Dividend Updates

                 December 2024 Dividend Updates

Wow! The year has come to an end and time to reflect on dividend collected for December and plan ahead for the next year.  As the year came to a close I end up selling some laggards and take the tax loss for the year.  I am also in the process of selling some of the individual stocks and plan to buy non paying dividend for the first time and bet on some growth stocks.  Since the time horizon is 15 years before I am abole to drawn from this account or any of my IRA or ROTH accounts.  If i reach Financial Independence (FI) prior to that, I will rely mainly on the real estate investment to cover my expenses.

But, without further ado, lets review December payout.  For the month of December 2024, we collected a total of $832.68.  To close the year, collecting a total of $8,346.79, in dividend.  

Some big wins to close the year. I finish paying off my Toyota Tacoma, two and half (2.5) years before the loan due date. I will save a total of $60 in interest monthly by doing this.

How was your year?  Did you set a record number?  Are you continuing to investing in Dividend paying stocks?
