It’s finally time to report the dividend income received in February 2018!
This is now the 9th dividend income update published on Reverse The Crush.
Frankly, it’s hard to believe that I’ve already been publishing these reports for the past 9 months.
Nevertheless, I plan on publishing dividend income updates until income received exceeds my total monthly expenses.
As you will notice from this months payment, I still have quite a long way to go. But I’m happy to be candidly publishing this process from humble beginnings.
Outside the DGI community, there’s a lot of short sightedness out there. Simply put, dividend income investing and the power of compound interest is grossly misunderstood. But that only makes dividend investing that much more fitting, as I’ve always been misunderstood too.
Dividend Income Results
My primary goal since the last quarter was to surpass $10.00 in dividend income received. I wanted to elude single digit quarters forever.
With that said, I received $10.57 worth of dividend income in February which exceeded my goal for the month. This represented an impressive 105.64% quarter over quarter increase.
As I alluded to above, folks outside the DGI community might not appreciate such a small amount of income. But I’m blogging my dividend income and numbering these reports for a reason.
The long term results will prove the power of dividend growth investing, and that’s why I was ok with starting off small.
Since the reports are numbered, the amount of time it took to reach financial independence through dividend investing will be documented.

Conclusion & Analysis of the Results
I’ve now earned $38.83 worth of dividend income in 2018.
Although dividend income received in February dipped slightly, this already accounts for 66.79% of the total dividend income earned in 2017.
Furthermore, the RTC portfolio is now 9.14% complete of the goal to earn $425.00 in 2018. Sure, that’s not exactly on pace. But the next two months are projected to get the portfolio back on track.
Moreover, the best is yet to come for the RTC dividend income updates. Dividend income will exceed total income earned in 2017 by next month, which means I’ll be able to analyze year over year growth results starting in March.
