It's time to report on my May dividends and I'm happy to say that my May dividend total was $213.13! This is my highest dividend month so far. I have now hit the $200 mark for the second time ever and it looks like I should be safely above that mark from now on. The great thing about this total was that my dividends have increased from the $207.52 that I made in the previous quarter without any additional stock purchases at all. The reason behind the larger total was simply due to dividend raises from some of the great companies I own shares of. I have listed the raises below and you can see all of my dividend income here as well.

General Mills (GIS) - From .38 to .41 +7.8%
WGL Holdings (WGL) - From .42 to .44 +4.7%
People's United Financial (PBCT) - From .163 to .165 +1.2%
Proctor & Gamble (PG) - From .602 to .644 +6.9%
Kinder Morgan (KMI) - From .41 to .42 +2.4%
May Purchases
Pepsi (PEP) - 14 shares @ $85.71
Chevron (CVX) - 10 shares @ $121.47

- August Dividend Update
It's time to report on my August dividends and I nearly had my highest dividend total ever at $227.68 which just barely missed beating my June number by 23 cents. My recent purchase of KMI (pre merger news) helped bolster my income as did a couple...
