Dividend Income Update - September 2016

Welcome to my dividend income update for September 2016. 

Each month I post dividends received to keep track of earned passive income. Opening a new position or adding to an existing position on a regular basis causes increases in income on a monthly or quarterly basis.

401K - VFIAX - $15.77
Total dividends received during the month of September 2016 = $115.97

I received dividends (i.e. $8.50)from Flushing Financial Corporation (FFIC) in June. The next dividend from this bank I would receive in October and not September. 

This has been an approximately 151% increase as compared to dividend earnings of $46.08 in Sept. 2015.
