Hi Everyone,
It's that time again when we get to post about a favorite topic of mine, dividends! We hope this post inspires other families out there to start saving and investing as soon as they can. The power you feel knowing that you are richer than you were yesterday and you didn't have to work for it is a wonderful feeling. Watching the totals pile in from all the various bloggers out there in this community continues to be a driving force to get ourselves to save and invest more and more.
We realize that our situation is different than every other blogger out there but its not how much you make, its how much you save. We make a middle class income but we live well below our means and this gives us the benefit to invest the surplus month after month and subsequently drive our passive income to new heights! The month of May is typically the slowest month and the past 31 days was no different. However, any money we do not have to work for is far better than working. So with that being said, lets get down to the numbers.
Between last year and this year, we have put a ton of money to work in the market and the decisions of our past continue to reward us quite well! This months total came in at $257.18 which is a 85.34% higher than last year.
We made two stock purchases in the month of May, WPC and DLR. The REIT's continue to remain a bit depressed so we are looking to add to our position in O and OHI. As my wife and I continue to put more and more capital to work, it is truly paying off... literally. This is the first month of the year that we have not had a 100% increase in dividends from last year. To see that kind of growth month after month is really exciting! My wife and I continue to be blessed and this journey continues to inspire us to keep on going.

Jump over to our dividend income page to see the increases month after month. There is also a nice chart on that page for all you visual learners out there. On that page, you can easily see dividend income investing at work which hopefully one day will be greater than our expenses and that's what we like to call The American Dividend Dream! Check out our complete portfolio here updated on 6/1/2015.
Looking out in 2015, we are thinking of adding some more O, OHI, another healthcare (perhaps DGX or GILD) and WAGE.
How was your April?
Thanks,
