Made it the month! Still have a family! Still have a job, with some reduced hours. Still have not gotten any symptoms of an illness. Neither has my family. That's the biggest blessing of all. Very thankful for that.
The dividends also continue to come in. Yes, some have suspended their dividends for the time being, but overall, I am receiving them as scheduled. I plan on reinvesting all of these earnings once the market stabilizes. In normal times, the more we invest, the higher the return, etc.
Eventually, the passive income from dividends will surpass my regular income and allow me to retire. This coronavirus bump in the road is just that - a bump in the road. Over the long haul this will be a blip on my portfolio.
Over the past month, I received 52 payments totaling $1,485.86. Still just a touch down from last year after my huge stock switcheroo back in August, but real close. And in a much more solid position. Had I kept all of the REITs I had, a large portion of my dividend income would be on hold and the losses would be around 70%. I feel fortunate I invested in solid companies that had a much more modest dividend, but will survive this economic horror story.
Here's the breakdown!
The big winner this month was the $113.10 form BBL (BHP Group), a Melbourne Australia based in company that mines copper, silver, gold, zinc, uranium, iron ore, and petroleum products. Even with the large drop in price, they are still only paying at 78% of their earnings. Hopefully, the dividend will not be cut or paused.
Next month will be another adventure to say the least. I do have faith that the investing picture will be much more clear when we revisit in a month.
Until then. stay safe. and come visit my site for updates on my watch list, recent buys, and dividend increases (and cuts...)

Solid amount of dividend income for March. Almost $1,500 is very impressive. :)
