October Dividend Income Report💰
Record-Breaking Month! $4,780.60 Collected Passively - Here's What I Plan To Buy.
October was my highest paying month of the year so far. My portfolio generated $4,780.60 in dividend income, bringing my year-to-date total to about $38,000. In this update, I will cover:
Total Income Per Holding

What I Plan To Add Next (Stock with potential 67.5% upside)
That’s $38,000 paid to me without clocking in, sending emails, or trading time for money. If you follow my updates, you’ll know that I rarely spend any of these dividends. Instead, I choose to reallocate these back into several growth and income positions to keep the snowball rolling.
Buy income funds → Reinvest dividends into growth → Outperform Indexes
I choose to reinvest these distributions so that I can keep momentum flowing upwards. When you have a large dividend stream, your portfolio essentially becomes self funding over time. I don’t have to contribute money that I actively earned, because the money that I passively earned is being used to accumulate shares.
Over the next twelve months, Yieldly estimates that I will earn more than $51,000 in dividend income. November looks like it’ll be a weaker month, but this is simply due to the payout schedules. Yieldly helps me understand what my estimated payouts will be each month and which holdings will be issuing a dividend.

The Power of Compounding in Action
Five years ago, I was just hoping to make enough to cover my internet bill. Now, dividends alone could cover mortgage, utilities, groceries, and still leave cash to reinvest.
You don’t need to time the market or chase the next big thing. You just need to keep building your income engine month after month. Full transparency, a large bulk of my dividends are coming from option ETFs. Not sure how to play these high-yield funds? You can learn more with the option ETF guide I put together.

Annual Goal: $100,000

If I maintain this pace, I’ll close 2025 well above $45,000 in dividends, nearly halfway to my six-figure income goal.
Portfolio Performance Snapshot
My portfolio’s YTD total return continues to outpace the major indexes following this strategy. I’ve covered this concept before, but there are several ways that you can offset the NAV erosion from high-yield funds. Reinvesting dividends into growth positions is just one of the methods that we utilize.
👉 My Portfolio: 25.22%
👉 US Stocks: 16.35%
👉 Alternatives: 20.73%
While a large portion of my income comes from high-yield option ETFs, my core stock holdings remain diversified across technology, Financials, and Consumer Defensive companies.
