August 2022 Dividend Income

Time to post my August 2022 Dividend Income!

This was a pretty hot summer so far. Heat wave after heat wave. My electric bill is going to be pretty high as I was running the air conditioner quite often.

This was actually a pretty lackluster month in terms of dividend income and dividend increases. Nevertheless, I am happy the dividend stream keeps running.

In other news, I am happy to report I completed one of my 2022 goals I set for myself last year!

I made a silver bullion goal to purchase an additional 30 ounces of silver for the year 2022. That goal was completed this August with a purchase of 22 more ounces!

I now own a total of 45 ounces of silver bullion. And with that, I am done for the year.

 

August 2022 Dividend Income

But without further ado, for August 2022, I received $674.50 in dividend income from nine (9) companies.

  • T – $167.89
  • OHI – $167.50
  • PG – $30.14
  • O – $46.53
  • GIS – $55.08
  • ABBV – $46.53
  • VZ – $103.04
  • GD – $17.64
  • NNN – $40.15

August 2022 Dividend Income Total: $674.50

Not my best month. In fact, this month shows a -5.4% year over year decrease from last August 2021. How did that happen?

Well, it was the AT&T dividend cut. Something like that just can’t be helped and I will have to bite the bullet on this one until next year at least.

In addition, this is my “off” month. An “off” month is when I get paid the lowest amount of dividends from the fewest number of companies.

 

Dividend Raises

Unfortunately, it was a dry month for dividend increases too. In fact, I only received one increase this August.

    • ITW increased dividend to $1.31 per share, resulting in a $5.40 increase.

All in all, dividend increases for August 2022 totaled: $5.40

I take that over no increases at all (or worst of all; decreases). But still, definitely a dry month.

 

Conclusion

Thus, we conclude my August 2022 Dividend Income.

A lackluster month, but I am happy to received nearly $700 in cash while I sleep. This month (September) is my strong month and I look forward to it.

As of this post, my portfolio is set to generate $13,020 in dividend income over the next 12 months.

So, stay tuned for more as I continue work towards my goals and build my dividend dynasty!
