Dividend Income Update May 2019

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 May totals, I see that my year-over-year progress is still moving at a nice clip, and I look forward to calculating my half-year 2019 totals in a few weeks to see where I stand relative to last year. With that being said, let's take a look back at my May 2019 dividend income.
Dividend income from my taxable account totaled $466.22, up from $374.11, an increase of 24.6% from May of last year.
Dividend income from my ROTH account totaled $285.81, up from $238.88, an increase of 19.6% from this time last year.
Dividend income from my IRA account totaled $181.44, up from $167.75 from this time last year, an increase of 8.2%.
Grand total for the month of May: $933.47, an increase of 19.6% from May 2018.
