Dividend income
Dividend income is the fruit of the work of investing your money on the stock market. Furthermore, dividend income is my primary vehicle on its way to financial freedom.
How do I investigate and screen for dividend shares before I make a purchase? I use our dividend diplomat stock screener and trade on the investment platform of Sofi.

I also invest automatically and Max, before taxes, my 401K through work and my health savings account. This allows me to save a lot of money on taxes (also known as thousands), so I can invest even more. In addition, all dividends I receive are automatically re -invested in the company that has paid the dividend, aka dividend reinvestment plan or drip in short. This removes the emotion from the timing of the market and builds up on my passive income flow!

Increasing your dividend income takes time and consistency. Investing as often and early as you can, the composite interest (aka dividends) can edit its magic. I am from earning $ 2.70 in a few months of dividend revenues to more than … $ 10,000+ in a few months. My dividend income was established in December 2021. Is it broken this month?! The power of composite and dividend reinvestment is a wonderful part of the portfolio. Every month, whether I am big or small, I will continue to report the passive income that dividend investment offers me. Why?

I want to show You This dividend investment makes it possible to achieve financial freedom and/or financial independence. We all start somewhere, but consistently invest, merge (reinvesting) dividends and keeping it simple, allows you to be in a considerably better position than most. Furthermore, if I can grow this portfolio and income flow, You Can too.
Dividend Choets – June 2025
Now, on the numbers … in June, we (my wife and me) received a total dividend income from $ 5,403.93. Glad to always cross $ 5,000.
The amount and the number of shares below show you what it means to buy and retain for the long term. Most of the positions I have had for years, so that dividend growth and reinvestment do its thing. This is what the dividend is investing for financial freedom. The passive income flow is growing rapidly.
2023 rose by 24%. Guess what? 2024 rose by 23%! 2 years from back to back 20% return. However … 2025 seems to be different. The rates are still high, the tariff interview has cooled, but the war with Iran and Israel is getting out of hand. Bitcoin recently reached high all time. However, this year, the S&P 500 has again increased almost 10% at the time of this writing, wow.
Here is the breakdown of the dividend income for the month, between taxable and pension (extremely right -wing column, under “pension”) accounts. Moreover, “W” means my wife’s account:
That vanguard (VYM) position brings in tons of dividends, almost $ 1,600 in taxable dividends, not to mention almost $ 200 on the pension accounts. I buy VYM every week.
Voo and VIG paid in July.
Pfizer (PFE) is huge with more than $ 100, not to mention Lyondellbassell (LYB) more than $ 200. I hope they can continue to pay the dividend, the same as United Parcel Services (UPS). Their payment ratios look Dicey.
McDonald’s (MCD) always comes through, this time more than $ 100!
Target (TGT) is another interesting because they have recently been difficult.
I also split my pension accounts in the extreme right column and the dividends of the taxable account are in the left two columns. The pension accounts are composed of HSA investments, Roth and traditional IRAs, as well as our work 401 (K) accounts. In total, the pension accounts raised a total dividend income amount of $ 1,109.09 or 21% of the total of the dividend income. That is why the majority of the dividend income came from my taxable account. Let’s go !!

2025:
Our dividend income…. Taken, Agh !! But why!
Firstly, Vanguard’s (Vinix) is no longer in my portfolio, because of their switch to a trust investment that are not allowed to pay benefits or dividends. That is why I rolled out of Vanguard to Sofi to earn a bonus and move all proceeds to Vanguard’s S&P 500 (VOO). That is why that was more than $ 1,000 of an impact.
Pepsi (Pep) also paid versus June in July, which means that the dividend decreases considerably.
We also left Spartan Nash (SPTN) and Dow Chemical (Dow), which means that dividends decrease in those shares. Still cleaning up a lot. Undoubtedly, June 2026 will crush this!
The urge for growth continues, 2026 will be better for June, no doubt in it. September should also be nice.
Dividend is increasing
We had a thriving 4 dividend increases this month !!! The true beauty of investing dividends. I have not recorded ETFs, this went around.
What was the best? The cake must go to Kroger (KR) at 9.37%. Why? In the midst of inflation and other financial concerns, Kroger continues to feed the dividend.
Caterpillar (Cat) is another narrow winner, with more than 7%!
Related: The impact of dividend growth!
In total, dividend increases created $ 54.30 in extra passive dividend income. I should invest $ 1,551 in a dividend yield of 3.50% to add that income. Thank you for the increases, because I didn’t have to come up with the capital to create that form of income!
Dividend income conclusion and summary

That is why my plan is to show that dividend income can be an income engine. An income engine with which you can use it Take control back of your life.
