Each month I will publish my dividend income. I will mainly do this for staying self motivated and to give you the readers the chance to follow my journey from the beginning on. The dividend income in the first couple of years will be on a very low level but investing in dividend stocks is all about the long term. I am very sure that in 5 years from now I will get my first rewards for the patience and focus on my goals.
It is again time for the monthly dividend income summary, can’t believe that is already December. November has been a quiet month when it comes to my dividend income. But I was expecting that already nevertheless I was again able to increase my dividend income compared to last year. In total I collected dividends worth of 52.97 EUR.
Unfortunately I also had a tax payment for my ETF of 22.78 EUR, without that the income would have been even higher.
Overview dividend income November
My total dividend income in October was 52.97 EUR that is an increase of 72.8% compared to November 2016. That increase does mainly come from my additional investment in ABBV, CVS, GIS, ITKA and HRL.
The decreases from the other stocks are due to the exchange rate.My accumulated yearly dividend income is already way above the total of 2016. Currently I have collected dividends worth of 1 249.93 EUR compared to 706.26 EUR in 2016. So all in all I more than confident to reach my goal of 1 400 EUR Dividend Income in 2017, all in all I am expecting a dividend income in December of around 180 EUR..
Overview monthly dividend income 2017
As you can see in the chart above the development is not the worst, the year started very slowly in January and February, from March ongoing I managed to make a huge increase in my monthly income.
Conclusion
My average monthly dividend income in 2016 was at 58.86 EUR and currently it is at 113.63 EUR.
Due to some changes in portfolio in the last week (I will come to that later) my projected full year dividend income is now at 1 614.19 EUR that means I have now an average of 134.52 EUR per month. So I still managed to increase my projected dividend income month by month. Nevertheless the still weakening USD is a little pain and the increases are little smaller than expected, but it is not the end of the world :).
