March 1st has rolled around so it's time for another installment of my Dividend Update. This is my favorite of my monthly updates since my ultimate goal is to reach early FI and live off my dividend income. February wasn't the best of months, but it was still much better than February 2012 with a 71.5% increase. It was still a light month since the majority of my holdings pay out on the March, June, September, December schedule, but any month with dividends is welcomed. Four of my holdings in my FI portfolio rewarded my investment in them by sharing some profits one in my Roth IRA. February was a quiet month for purchases with only a position in Aflac and Vodafone joining the portfolio. The markets didn't see any major pullbacks and ended up essentially flat for the month. Between the new purchases and several announced dividend increases, my forward 12-month dividends in my FI Portfolio now sit at $2,056.94 and in my Roth IRA they're at $208.91. The FI portfolio forward dividends are 58.8% of the way towards my goal of $3,500 by the end of 2013.

- Dividend Update - January 2013
January was an okay month for dividends but still a far cry from December's personal record. I ended up having 2 companies pay in my FI portfolio and 1 in my Roth IRA. Normal January's from now on would see 3 pay outs in the FI portfolio but...
- Dividend Update - November 2012
November was a decent month for dividends with 5 companies paying out in my FI portfolio but none in my Roth IRA. This was much better than October's 3 total payouts. And December is going to be an awesome month with 12 payouts in my FI portfolio...
- Dividend Update - October 2012
October was a slow month as expected for dividend payouts with only 2 companies paying out in my FI portfolio and only 1 company paying in my Roth IRA. In my FI portfolio, my forward 12-month dividends to start the month stood at just over $930 and...
