July 2022 Dividend Income Report
Quarter 2 of 2022 is well past over and I haven’t made an update on the dividend income report since March.
I want to say I have been very busy for the last so many months and did so much fun stuff over the summer that I didn’t have the time at all to do the dividend income report. There is some truth to it, I have been a bit busy focusing on other things, had some fun over the summer, and tried to survive the hot summer without melting.
The truth is I still had time to do these and procrastinated a little bit which turned into a bit more and every time I think of doing it, I just picture the mountain of income reports in front of me which just discouraged me from doing anything.
I knew the longer I put this off, the worse it will be to climb this mountain. This is me getting back to it and just dealing with it instead of waiting another month even though the end of August is not too far away. But to make all of this sound better, I am just going to say that I took a nice long summer break.
With all of that being said, this is not an income report just for July but will have to make up for all the ones I missed. To achieve this, this is going to be a bit numbers heavy with dividends broken down for each month, but I will skip out on the intricate details of dividend increases and how the dividends compare against the same time last year for each stock.
I will however have the final dividend totals and a comparison chart comparing it to last year so you will have an overall picture of the performance this year vs last year.
