August-Dividend Income Breakdown
My August payout brought me one new dividend income stock. That stock is the DIVIDEND ARISTOCRAT, Eaton Vance. I currently have fewer stocks paying in August month than July so a slight decrease this month compared to last month.
Dividend Breakdown
Putnam Municipal Closed End Fund- $4.80
I purchased more PMM this month so this number will be higher starting next month. PMM pays me monthly.
General Mills-$10.29
General Mills was the very first stock I bought.
TLT-$3.17
I did sell a little TLT this month as I was up over 16% in it. I used this to buy more dividend stocks
Ennis-$24.30
Ennis is one of my top 3 stocks and one of my largest positions.
Kaiser Aluminum-$3.00
Eaton Vance-$10.50
TOTAL DIVIDENDS FOR AUGUST = $56.06
This group of stocks paid $24.70 the previous payment. So I have increased my total payout for this quarter by over 100%. I look forward to increasing my dividends further.

The most important part of any investment plan is to stay consistent. I’ve added to my portfolio each month since
