Happy New Year everyone. For me, 2015 flew by. A new job, a daughter going to college, and a rapidly increasing monthly dividend are some of my highlights for this year. 2015 marks my first full year of investing. This year I saw my annual dividend income grow at an exponential rate. My dividends for 2016 are impressive as well. Barring any dividend cuts, next year I will see a 100% increase in annual dividends.

December was a record dividend month for me. This month I earned $690.77 in dividends. This amount added to my YTD dividends gives me 2015 dividend income of $3,885.11; which averages out to $324 a month. Looking ahead to next year, if I don’t add any new money my forward dividends are $6,706; which averages $559 a month.
