We are in the last month of the year. Amazing! The year went by quick. Apparently, Winter Is Here! That’s for all you Game of Thrones fans. For some reason, I like saying winter is coming. Indeed, my dividends are coming. I know that October was my slow month, so I’m really excited to see what November has to bring. Thanksgiving is over and gone. Black Friday sales are done. Cyber Monday is long behind us. Now, we are in the last month of the last year. This post has been a bit overdue, but now it’s time to see how the portfolio did for November. Enough stalling. Let’s dive in.

Dividend Income

In November, I received a total of $124.92 in dividends broken down as follows:

NO. STOCK NAME DIVIDENDS 1 AAPL Apple $7.36 2 ABBV Abbvie $26.07 3 GIS General Mills $19.12 4 HRL Hormel Food $8.33 5 O Realty Income $8.45 6 PG Proctor & Gamble $15.02 7 SBUX Starbucks $12.23 8 T AT&T $28.34 $124.92

Very respectable. The portfolio is moving in the right direction and, predictably, returned over $100 in dividend income. I am very excited to see how 2019 will treat the dividend portfolio. Recently, I reduced the minimum contribution to my portfolio. There’s a slight chance that I might go back to the original amount I was investing because I’m still not seeing the results in my savings account. I just need to get past the holiday season and I expect that with the extra motivation that comes along with every New Year, I’ll be just fine.
