In October, we (my wife and I) received a dividend income total of $3,948.78. Crushing it for an off-month – thanks to Vanguard (VOO) and Fidelity (FXAIX) for paying in October. We had quite a few dividend increases this month. So fortunate to be getting raises from companies and having the stocks of companies I own do all of the work. In total, dividend increases created $92.48 in additional passive dividend income.
