The beginning of every month is exciting for all dividend income investors as we look back at the previous month and see how much passive dividend income our portfolios generated. No doubt, these are the best posts to write and read online as it only provides further proof that dividend investing can work over time and that anyone can create an ever growing passive income stream. Looking back at my June totals, I see that my year-over-year progress is moving at a nice clip. Now that half of 2019 is in the books my annual dividend income picture is looking a lot clearer. With that being said, let's take a look back at my June 2019 dividend income.
Dividend income from my taxable account totaled $885.03, up from $792.95, an increase of 11.6% from June of last year.
Dividend income from my ROTH account totaled $185.87, up from $178.06, an increase of 4.4% from this time last year.
Dividend income from my IRA account totaled $5.72, down from $5.78, a decrease of -1.0% from this time last year.
Grand total for the month of June: $1,076.62, an increase of 10.2% from June 2018.

As mentioned in my Recent Stock Purchase May 2019 post, I moved all (Mrs. DivHut, baby DivHut and myself) accounts to Schwab because I was offered free trades for twenty years. Going forward, my portfolio will change slightly as shares held in her account have been moved over towards our collective accounts. I'll still be reporting monthly totals as always, but you'll notice some larger holdings in Altria (MO), Philip Morris (PM), General Electric (GE), KHC and BP (BP) that she held in her account going forward. The portfolio page has been updated to reflect all our holdings. In fact, in this report, you can see an LTC payment in our brokerage account. I always held my REITs in an IRA. In time, I'll probably adjust our holdings, especially the monster BP position she has. Bottom line, individual or combined, the proof of our dividend investing strategy rests in these real results. After all, dividends don't lie. It's real cash being returned to investors. With patience and consistency, these results and better can be achieved. I'm excited to see what the second half of 2019 will bring. All I know for certain is that the market will definitely be higher, lower or flat come New Year's Eve. In other words, I'll continue with my monthly buys and slowly build up my passive income stream share by individual share and let the experts worry about what might happen.
Are any of these dividend stocks in your portfolio too? How was your June dividend income? Please let me know below.

I’m an early 40′s Internet entrepreneur that launched several dot coms with varying success in each. At the very least my living has been made online for the past 18 years and at the most I had a fun time in each venture.I began seriously investing for dividend income around 2007 when my business at the time was literally falling off a cliff, as most of the world was starting too as well, when my need for another income stream became more apparent. I have always known the benefits of dividends from my very first stock purchase back in 1988 but wasn't yet sold on the concept of tying up my money indefinitely purely for a dividend income stream. It was around that time that I learned about Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Champions when it all just made sense. I could literally see the effects of compounding dividends from these select companies and thought a nice diversified portfolio could provide me with a decent to excellent income stream decades down the road.
