In 2022 my portfolio received 12 dividend hikes so far and 1 dividend Cut(T). The dividend increases will offset the project cut and add some more
Biggest Impact are WFC,UPS,AMGN and TROW. I have been adding TROW to my existing position.
Even with the cut of T dividend ,this will impact me more than $100 and these increases will offset and around $30 in additional dividends.
Q2 Completed and now i am ready with another monthly dividend report. This one surprised me as one of my funds payed me a huge dividend. This month i received total dividends of $2250.84,Big reason for this is payment from RERGX, last year and this quarter they paid negligible dividends .Another reason for my confusion is RERGX split the payment as capital gain, but most websites are reporting as dividend.

In 2021 9 companies in my portfolio announced dividend increases. These increases added Another $78 in dividends. Trow is the Biggest contributor for the growth. CINF,ED were added Last year to my portfolio during the pandemic. This is like investing another $1k in T stock.
This will help me with my Dividend Goal of 11k this year.
2020 is in books , one of the most unexpected years at least in my generation. Now coming to dividends i had a high hopes for December, but it turned out anticlimactic .I received less dividends this year compared to last December and it was significant.
One of the reason for significant reduction was very small distribution from RERGX one of my biggest funds .In 2019 I received more than 1300 in dividends and distribution from them.
