Want to celebrate but I'm not sure where to put it so I'll tuck it in here:
With MSFT paying this morning I have passed my dividend income total from 2020.
This is much later than in past years for three main reasons:
1 - Unlike past years many of my moves this year have reduced my income - getting out of REITs and BDCs, selling a bunch of T
2 - I stopped adding new money to my accounts or buying more dividend-payers this summer to build cash for retirement
3 - This is the big one. MSC Industrial. I owned MSM last year and it paid two big specials in 2020. Take those away and my date would be earlier and I'd also finish the year with more than a 10% increase.
We all have enough negatives in our lives - I like celebrating (bragging about?) even my little achievements when they come.
