MAY 2021 DIVIDEND INCOME

 We are 41% through the year (5/12).  And it feels like I just wrote this.   Thats mainly due to an incredibly busy month of May.  Big personal stuff going on that I will go into more detail on a later post when things all shake out.  But it makes time fly by so fast I did not even do my regular 3-4 posts a month.

May was a good month when it comes to passive income.  And by passive income, I mean collecting dividends from companies that I invest in that reward their shareholders by sharing the profits.  These companies tend to have a long track record of increasing these payments year over year.  This will result in some amazing compounding that will rapidly increase this income over the period of a few years.  

All it takes is 2 things: reinvesting dividends earned and patience.

The result of this patience is earning $1,047.99 from 30 companies.  This is an increase of 31.2% over 2020 and the $798.80 I earned last May.   The result of dividend increases, reinvesting the dividends and adding to the pot with any spare change when I can.   Hopefully, this pace will keep up. 



My big payday was at the start of the month with AT&T paying $192.40 and on 5/17 and the $100.50 payout from OHI.  

I do believe this is the end of seeing such payments from AT&T.   But it was a good run and it sure will be an adventure when shareholders get the shares of the new company..

Until next month - CHEERS!

  1. Congrats on breaking the $1K mark! It sucks about T, but with so many other great dividend payers we will pull through fine in the long run. Keep up the great work! :)

    1. Thanks Mr. Dynasty. Yes, we will be fine. I'm hanging ton to T for a bit since I do believe it will gain in equity in the next year as they jettison debt.
