DECEMBER 2018 - DIVIDENDS RECEIVED


Happy New Year everyone! Well, we were ahead for the year....up until this last month that is. haha. It was certainly painful to see our portfolio drop time and time again through the month of December, but we did take the opportunity to pick up some stocks from the sale prices found just about everywhere in the market. :) 

Up or down, we know we are fine because we are actually more interested in the dividends that we are in the stock prices.  After all, we hope to use the dividend income stream to supplement our family's retirement income. 

 Below is a recap of the dividends/partnership distributions that we received from our family's dividend stocks portfolio –  DECEMBER 2018 (recap).

During the past month, our family received dividends/partnership distributions from a total of 15 companies/ETFs/Partnerships. The total monies received from those 15 companies/ETFs/Partnerships was: $160.34.

    AFFJ -

    Nice job! You should do a comparison to the prior year in your post, in order to see the progress. Thoughts?

    We all know that over time we'll see our portfolios rise and fall with the market's whim but it's that passive income stream that we are most focused on. As long as it continues to grow we know we're headed in the right direction. Nice list of companies paying you in Dec. Keep it going in '19!

    I earned very close to your amount in dividends AFFJ. I came in right around $140 in dividends. Congrats on finishing the year strong, even though December was somewhat of a tough month. Happy New Year and I look forward to following your progress in 2019.

    It's like a dream. The year has only just begun and you get dividends collected, have you done anything for it, have you had to leave your apartment for it, have you had to pray for it? No, a correct investment decision has changed the income and thus also the quality of life.

    I've been following your blog for a long time and I can only thank you, please don't underestimate the motivation you give with your blog!

    I am a blogger myself and know that sometimes it is a bit difficult and I would like to motivate you to stick to your goal. I will mention your blog, with your permission of course, in my blog :)

    Dividend means money, money means power and power ultimately goes back to the Almighty - God.

    Yours sincerely from Germany
