Measure of Progress
#3
I keep track of a few measures. The most important for me is that my dividend income is going up each year. I compare year over year income #'s along with each quarter compared to year ago quarter. I expect these #'s to keep increasing.

Along with that I keep track of total return of my portfolio. This takes into consideration capital gains and dividend income. This is my most important metric which I like to see ideally above the S&P 500 performance.

Other than those two things, I just make sure each company I own continues to increase it's dividend on a yearly basis. As long as they are doing that I am a happy investor.
