What? It’s March already?? Man, February blew by so fast that Valentine’s Day seems like just last week. I did make a couple stock buys last month, so that gave my dividend income a nice little boost.

With February done, let’s see how my dividend income did for the month, so here are the numbers:
BGY $ 49.00*
CFP $ 71.45*
CIK $ 22.00*
DHY $ 42.00*
DMF $ 10.50
DSM $ 22.83
EXG $121.95
HTR $ 28.50*
NCV $ 63.00
OIA $ 4.10
PFN $ 36.00
VFL $ 19.50
HHY $ 11.25
TOTAL $502.08

* Includes Return of Capital.

I’m getting a little ahead of myself, but HQL announced that this quarter’s dividend will be 50 cents per share, a 3 cent increase from last quarter’s 47 cent per share dividend. ETF funds with steadily rising dividend payouts are as rare as hen’s teeth, so HQL is proving to be a very good buy indeed.

With last month’s buy of 150 shares of HHY and 100 shares of RSO, my projected average monthly income is now $551.55. Also changed is my projected average daily (24-hours) income of $18.13/day, average hourly income is 75.6 cents, and average minute income is 1.26 cents.

February’s dividend income was good, as it shows that my monthly dividend income is now regularly clearing $500/month. Breaking $500/month was a huge deal last year, but now it’s quickly becoming a routine occurrence . Funny how that works. Of course, there are always exciting new goals to reach for, such as attaining an average projected monthly income of $600.00 for 2015 (and with luck, $650.00 may be achieved). I look forward to when $600/month seems passé as I’m reaching for $700/month. 🙂
