My not-so secret love is spreadsheets. Just makes it so much easier to put things in a format so that you can visualize success and progress. The dividend calendar provides a nice combination of forward and historic views.

Thanks for the comments FII!

I love that you make a spreadsheet for this. I really need to lay out forward looking dividends, I currently just have that forward thinking when I purchase a dividend stock but really only track previous dividends. I hope you exceed your goal of $2750.00 this year!

Always good to see other fellow accountants who can appreciate a high quality spreadsheet. The size of your portfolio is less important right now in comparison to the commitment to pursuing financial responsibility and independence. Loyal3 has been a great supplement to my main portfolio and I’m happy to have been able to invest in them over the last year or so. In a couple of years it will be its own dividend monster, especially since it is primarily filled with companies that will have higher dividend growth rates.

Thanks for reading and best of luck on your investment journey.

I’m an accountant by day so I tend to appreciate nice spreadsheets. My forward dividends are much smaller but I may have to create something sooner to help visualize the bright future ahead. We have similar L3 holdings except I havr HAS rather than MAT and RL vs. VFC. Like you, I really like the flexibility they offer. I wish I could partake in P2P but it is a no go in TX at present. All the best and keep up the great work.

Josh, one of the perks I’ve found of the great online personal finance community is picking up ideas and concepts from other bloggers. I know I’ve learned a ton! Best of luck on your own journey, although you’re far ahead of the game given your age!

That’s a mighty interesting chart you have there! I have one too but it looks a little bare at the moment. Good to see others on this journey.

You’re absolutely correct, the amounts past the current period are projected amounts based on the shares currently held in my portfolios. This allows me to see where I stand in relation to my goals. Thanks for the comment!

I like your dividend calendar set-up… the colored legend is a nice touch as well. I see you already filled in some amounts for dividends in the months that haven’t arrived yet. I’m assuming these are based on projections?
