February 2016 Dividends and Passive Income Progress


I was able to purchase shares of DEO in February and I had a post about this here.

February is usually one of the lowest dividends month for me.

Dividends received in February 2016:


AAPL$0.54
BMO$15.96
DRI$17.42
FCPT$2.20
KMI$8.66
NE$4.80
PG$17.14
RY$10.76
T$13.71
TD$12.95
YUM$0.34
Total$104.48

Which is $2.00 less than in 2015 but mostly because KMI and NE reduced their dividends.

My February 2015 dividends:

T$12.89
NE$11.06
KMI$29.45
PETS$18.07
DRI$18.70
PG$16.22
Total$106.39
