Each month I total up the dividends paid to me in the month as a way to track my progress towards financial freedom. The end goal is to have my dividends paid cover my expenses. This is a long term goal, so I have a lot of years to go, but I find it encouraging seeing my dividend income steadily grow over time. This reminds me that I’m on the right track and to stick with it.

As you can see my February dividend income is significantly lower than my January income. This is because most of the companies I own pay out their dividend in the first or third month in a quarterly schedule. I expect the dividend payments to bounce back up in March.
