AUGUST 2020 DIVIDENDS

August flew by faster than all other months this year.  Much of that was due to a 10 day long road trip to escape the day to day lockdown this awful virus has trapped the world in.

During this month, and during the road trip, passive income came in.  Just for  being alive.

This is the result of investing in dividend paying companies.  Not only that, but companies that regularly grow their dividend.

The final result this August is a payment from 30 different companies for a grant total of $960.26.
That $960.26 will then be invested to earn more passive income.  And on and on and on.  Until I reach my goal.

...the paragraphs above were written while watching Mulan..  Kind of on cruise control, but the basis of my investment strategy and the center point of this blog.

Here are the details of the previous month.
