September was an awesome month for dividend payouts with 13 companies paying me in my FI portfolio and 3 in my Roth IRA. The month also brought my first $100+ month of dividends for my FI portfolio which I blew past with $165 in dividends. With the recent addition of 100 shares of INTC my forward 12-month dividends is over $930. The INTC shares will provide an extra $90 per year in dividend before reinvestment or increases and an extra $22.50 this year with their December payout. I'm slowly getting close to the $1,000 mark and 2013 will see me surpass that mark on an annual basis.
