July Dividend Update
It's been a pretty quiet month for me here in July, not a lot of purchases and no real dividend raises to speak of. My latest purchase was KMI a couple of weeks ago and I sure wish I would have waited to buy. You know what they say about hindsight though. My dividend total for the month was
$256.50 which is my lowest monthly total since January. This was due to Walmart's (WMT) dividend paying in late June rather than early July.
In comparison, last years July total was $179.34 which means my dividend's for the month have grown by
43% year over year! I was also able to cover
11.5% of my living expenses in July from my dividend income. Looking forward to next month as it should be an all time record month for me.
