Happy $O and $MAIN dividend day!
In an uncertain market, there’s something beautiful about seeing those monthly dividends continue to hit.
$O: $214.48
$MAIN: $77.00
That’s $291.48 in income without selling a single share.
Markets will go up. Markets will go down. The dividends keep coming.
This is why I love building multiple streams of income.
Happy $JEPI and $JEPQ dividend day!
$JEPQ: $1,029.39
$JEPI: $127.14
$1,156.53 hitting the account today.
And every dollar is getting DRIP’d right back into more shares.
Buy assets.
Collect income.
Reinvest the income.
Let the snowball keep growing.
What a way to finish off the month.
Over $2,000 in dividends and distributions hitting the account today:
$VOO: $1,272.15
$PLD: $366.49
$SWVXX: $248.62
$AVGO: $65.38
$DLR: $61.00
Total: $2,013.64
Led by $VOO, my favorite ETF, with over $1,270 by itself.
And this officially caps off an $11,000+ dividend month.
No selling shares. No extra work. Just owning assets, collecting income and letting it compound.
Dividends + options income continue to fund a life I once thought was impossible.
I set a goal this year to reach $100,000 in annual dividend income.
I started January at $79,935.
Today I’m at $94,627.
That’s now $7,885 per month. $1,820 per week. $259 per day.
That $259 per day is powerful because it comes whether I’m golfing, spending time with my family, sleeping, or doing absolutely nothing.
The goal isn’t to chase the highest yield possible just to hit $100K. I’m focused on growth and sustainable yields so my income doesn’t come at the expense of the long term health of my portfolio.
Dividend growth increases the income. Options income funds more shares. Those shares create more dividends. Then I repeat.
10 years ago I never imagined dividends and options income could fund a life where I don’t have to go to work.
That’s financial freedom.
$5,373 to go
In 2022, I was making around $2,500 a year in dividends.
That was it.
Then I decided I wanted to build a real passive income machine.
January 2023: $22,646/year
January 2024: $51,357/year
January 2026: $79,935/year
Today: $90,488/year
There was no magic get rich quick strategy.
No chasing ridiculous yields. No high yield bullshit. No shortcut.
It started small. I kept investing. I kept reinvesting. I kept adding. And slowly, the snowball started doing more and more of the work for me.
Now it generates over $7,500 a month without me having to clock in for it.
But the biggest point isn’t my number.
Don’t compare your Chapter 2 to someone else’s Chapter 20.
If you’re making $500 a year right now, build it to $1,000. Then $2,500. Then $5,000.
Your only competition is the number you had last year.
Keep building. The snowball doesn’t care where you started.
Happy Dividend Day 💰
$586.45 hitting the account today for doing absolutely nothing.
$O: $214.09
$NEE: $125.34
$HSY: $108.90
$MAIN: $77.00
$CBOE: $47.30
$CTVA: $13.50
$CSX: $0.32
This is why I love dividends.
Buy great companies.
Hold them.
Reinvest the dividends.
Let the income compound.
Eventually, your money starts working harder than you do.
Dividend Milestone Unlocked! 💰📈
$90,127 in projected annual dividend income.
I publicly set a goal of reaching $100,000/year in dividends…
And we’re officially 90% of the way there. 🎯
That’s now:
💰 $7,511/month
💰 $1,733/week
💰 $247/day
And I’m still adding shares every single week.
I’m not interested in chasing yield just to hit the number faster. I want to keep balancing income with long-term portfolio growth.
Next stop:
$100,000/year. 💯
Less than $10K to go.
The income engine keeps rolling. 📈🌴🍺
☀️ Sunday Morning Portfolio Update ⛏️📈
My mini portfolio hit a high around $72K this year and is currently sitting at $69,203.
YTD: +21.14% | +$12,077 🟢
Hard to believe this journey started 4 years ago with just $550.
My top 5 all-time movers have done some serious heavy lifting:
$SCHD +$2,066
$SPMO +$1,434
$AVUV +$1,392
$SCHG +$1,219
$SPYI +$916
Dividends keep rolling in, the portfolio keeps compounding, and the long-term plan keeps doing its job.
Not at the yearly high, but I definitely can’t complain.
Keep mining. Keep investing. ⛏️💰
#DividendInvesting#Investing#PortfolioUpdate
In 11 months’ time, I upped my income while also lowering my yield and gaining more stability.
Again, still a thank you to @HighYieldHustle, @trades_hayes, and @8bitsteveo_ for inspiring this journey.
Hit my first monthly goal.
Big appreciation goes towards @HighYieldHustle@trades_hayes @8bitsteveo w/o seeing your post I wouldn’t have been inspired to start this high yield stuff recently.
First off, @DivTrackerApp is an AWESOME app! 👏
Monday - $65.52
Tuesday - $125.35
Wednesday - $21.91
Thursday - $34.59
Friday - $9.51
Just in one week, over $250 in dividends, reinvested into their core holdings! 👍
Can’t wait to see what this looks like in 20 years.
