June 2019 Dividend Income: Year One

Hard as it may be to believe, we are one year into this little stock trek.  It really doesn't feel like that much time has passed since I first started this little endeavor, but that's the way it is sometimes.  This means that I'll be able to not only look at quarterly growth from here on out, but also year over year (or YoY).  With all that being said, let's get on with the numbers.

Kroger (KR): $0.84.- Double from last quarter due to purchasing more shares.
AGNC: $0.16 - Down $0.02 from last month due to dividend cut.
CenturyLink (CTL): $0.26 - Up a penny due to reinvested dividends
Realty Income (O): $0.69 - Same as last month.
Wendy's (WEN): $0.70 - Up $0.40 due to new shares purchased
Flower's Foods (FL): $0.96 - Up $0.60 for both QoQ and YoY.  This was a result of new shares, DRIP, and a dividend increase.

That brings the subtotal to $3.61.  Yeah, that YoY number increase is tenfold.  I'm pretty pleased with it.

But wait!  We still have the 401K to take into consideration.  Sadly, still no $8.00 dividend like in December, I suppose it's meant to be like a holiday present.  Still, the retirement account did bring in an additional $0.77, which is a $0.40 increase from last quarter.

That brings the grand total to $4.38.  Compared to the $0.36 total from the first entry, it's a decent jump; though could you imagine if I had May's numbers this month?  That would've been amazing, but oh well.

Bank interest brought in a commendable $3.18.  It isn't as impressive as some of the increases listed above, but it's not too shabby all things considered.

June was a light purchase month.  I only added three shares of Kinder Morgan (KMI) to the portfolio.  It did boost the forward income by three bucks, so there's that.

While the numbers weren't quite as impressive as May's, the growth on display more than makes up for it.  There were quite a few figures that doubled.  A lot of it was due to last month's spree, but I'll take it in any event.

2019 is officially half over and the investing journey enters year 2.  It should definitely be interesting to see how things progress.
