So after completing my buying spree last month I took some well deserved time off the grid. Well not completely off but far removed 🙂 After being back in the office for a week I really needed to readjust back into the groove. Although I love my job, it hit me again that it would be fantastic to truely be a master of your own time. Oh well, only thing I can do is do my utmost best to create my own future. For myself and for my family.
Cool thing about being a DGI investor is that you get paid for doing nothing! I estimated that I would earn about €1,- a day during my vacation totalling €21,-. Let’s see how well I estimated this.
A total of 8 companies payed me this month:
| Date | Ticker | Shares | Amount (€) |
| 03/07/2018 | PPL | 23 | 6.87 |
| 03/07/2018 | PEP | 5 | 3.37 |
| 04/07/2018 | KMB | 5 | 3.64 |
| 13/07/2018 | HASI | 15 | 3.59 |
| 16/07/2018 | O | 23 | 3.67 |
| 17/07/2018 | CAH | 5 | 1.73 |
| 26/07/20148 | CSCO | 10 | 2.4 |
| 27/07/2018 | DIS | 2 | 1.22 |
| €26,49 |
So this means I actually earned about 17,94 during my vacation. Not too shabby! For the sharp observer you can also notice that this €26,49 is my new alltime dividend record!
So this means my progress so far this year is coming along nicely:
And so far so good on my 2018 goals:
Total dividend YTD 2018: €142.
Total dividend received ever: €230,79.
And now….the big moment, my YoY-comparison!
July 2017: €6,55.
July 2018: €26,49.
Thats another amazing increase of 404,43% compared to last year!
I’ll be off binge-commenting on your blogs now, I would love to hear your thoughts on your month (or mine)?
Financially free in 10 years 
Mr Robot,
Congrats on your results.. and of course your insane YoY growth!
With the exception of PPL I own shares in all your July dividend payers as well 🙂

You’re off to a good start! What is your 10 year ‘average dividend payment per month’ goal?

That’s actually a very good question! I never really thought about what a good average should be. I’m guessing for me to be sustainable it should be somewhere between $1500-2000.
I doubt that I can make that in 10 years, but 20…. 🙂

Wow, so many awesome accomplishments here in one update. Congrats Mr. Robot!
Not only did you continue to earn nicely while off on holiday, you also set a new record for a monthly payout! Not only that but you did it in a month that is typically a bit quiet for most. On top of that, you have another superb YoY increase! You’ve got a lot to be proud of here.

It was great Tom, I had a real difficult time adjusting back. I kept thinking if I had started this journey 10 years ago I’d be able to do a lot more now then my 3 week a year….

Congrats on your 404.43% yoy increase and new record, Mr. Robot! $26.49 is some nice passive income flowing in. I think you will end up earning more than me in August. It’s always cool to read your reports because our income is similar. Keep it up!
