Absolutely. Over on SA there was a thread recently where many people posted about their slowed dividend growth in 2020. Interestingly, for me, it was last year where my cuts/freezes were felt with only about a 7% increase. This year I will surpass my total dividends received in 2021 some time in August. Part of this is having the IRA but not all - without it I'd be pointing to some time in October.

A couple of months ago I heard an investment advisor on Bloomberg (driving so no notes to recall who). She said that 2021 was marked by huge earnings growth that outpaced dividends. She saw 2022 as a year when dividends would start to catch up.
