Started to track the dividends by month back in 2011.
Below you will see 13 years of dividend income results.
THIS is the proof.😤
Not easy. Super high savings rate, side hustling, grinding, working my a$$ off...
But... I wouldn't change it for the world. Only UP!🚀

How I screen for Dividend Stocks:
- go to
- Search for stocks > $2B in market cap
- Current p/e ratios < 20
- Forward p/e ratios < 20
- Payout ratios < 60%
- Current ratio > 1.0
- Quick Ratio > 0.50
- EPS & Revenue Growth
Should be a nice start!

Hey Dividend Investors -
I know what it's like:
- Before starting/starting @ $0.
- Dividend investing for 13+ years (since early-2009).
If you start - AWESOME. DONT stop! See if you can add MORE.😤
If you're unsure - I get it, but your future self will be SO happy you did.👇

Dividend Investing - can be instant gratification creating an income stream OR you have to definitely have the mindset of LOOONG TERM thinking.
The journey has been bittersweet, here is 11 years in the making on just my dividend income totals each month.

Verizon $VZ under $37.
Over a 7% yield.
EPS of $5.06 in 2022; down ~5%.
EPS of $1.56 in Q4 of 2022 - shows promise, however, management guidance suggests $4.85 top range for 2023.
Staying away from the telecom sector or nibbling?
Appreciate the feedback on this stock!

One way I screen for dividend stocks - may help you potentially.
Check
To start, screen for +2B in market cap
Current & forward P/E ratios < 20
Current Ratio > 1
Quick Ratio > 0.50
Dividend Yield > 2.00%
Payout Ratio < 60.00%
Then, evaluate...

For 98% of investors - a simple ETF will do amazing for everyone.
I would simply do $VOO and consistently dollar cost average into the ETF.

I've been buying Vanguard's $VYM weekly for ~3 full years.
In total, 4-6 shares per week between my wife & I.
The dividend snowball is massive & is only getting bigger.

In wake up the banking industry - $ALLY Ally Bank just released an 11 - month NO PENALTY 4.75% CD.

I occasionally showcase this, but.. I've been a dividend investor for over 10 years.
My lowest month in the picture below was just over $2.

Think about what Ally bank is doing:
- Money Market Account now at 3.80%
- Savings Rate, raised again to 3.75%
- 11 month no Penalty at 4.75%
- 13 month CD at 4.60% to traditional bank customers
Not to cause alarms, but Ally is looking for deposits and fast. My 2 cents.

$326 away from $24,000 in forward taxable dividend income.
Almost $2,000/month in cash flow, real passive income, is in sight👀
This has taken 14+ years building, w/ hyper mode the last 3-5 years. 🚀
That same $24,000 for 2024, will add $2k+ more income, due to DRIP...🔄😉

This is why you buy and hold for the long-term.
I have owned Visa $V for 13-14 years.

Lesson? BUY AND HOLD.✊

$JNJ down again - $156.87 - getting into my buy zone.
$HRL another dividend king - almost into the $37 range.
$VZ - below $36... oh my, over 7.25% yield, a trap?

Dividend stocks on the radar THIS WEEK:
- $JNJ - < $155... over 3% yield, would like it closer to $150!
- $TGT - < $140 and over 3% yield, as well. Another King
- $HRL - Almost 3% yield, for yet another king.
- $LYB - yield swelling back up to 6%
What are YOU watching?

The stock market rises and falls.
Dividend income, for me, always goes UP.
Buy high quality dividend income producing stocks - fluctuations are just noise.
Keep buying dividend stocks, especially on the dip. You are buying more income for... LESS.

For dividend investors out there pursuing financial freedom - do you ever have the f*** it feeling and just start throwing as much as you can at $MO $BTI $JEPI etc.. to go all out one year to juice the income to your financial freedom income figure?

When I was 20, I wanted to be financially free by 30. As I was approaching 30, that shifted to age 35.
I am 35 now, I'm not financially free, but I'm closer than where I was at 30 and definitely further than at 20.
Always chasing my goal. That is the ghost I chase...🤔
