October 2025 turned out to be one of the strongest months yet in my dividend investing journey. The month delivered a total of $4,252, marking an impressive 40% increase from October 2024’s $3,032.
What’s even more satisfying is that this growth wasn’t fueled by luck — it’s the result of years of consistent investing, dividend reinvestments, and a few solid dividend hikes across key holdings.
📈 Dividend Growth (Same Month, 2020–2025)
| Year | Dividends ($) |
|---|---|
| 2020 | 1,353 |
| 2021 | 1,737 |
| 2022 | 2,564 |
| 2023 | 2,800 |
| 2024 | 3,032 |
| 2025 | 4,252 |
The steady compounding effect is clearly visible. From 2020 to 2025, my October dividends alone have grown over 214%. The 2025 surge was powered by reinvested payouts and rising distributions from high-yield ETFs like the YieldMax series and core dividend players like AbbVie, Visa, and Starbucks.
💹 Year-Over-Year Dividend Changes
Each year brought steady momentum, but 2025 stands out as the year where dividend acceleration truly kicked in. More capital deployed in income ETFs and consistent reinvestment played a huge role here.
🎯 YTD Dividend Progress
| Year | YTD Dividend ($) | Goal ($) | % of Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 17,962.14 | 22,978 | 78.2% ✅ |
With two months left, I’m closing in on my annual goal. Even if payouts hold steady, I should surpass $19,000 before year-end, putting me well within reach of the $22,978 target.

🗣 Final Thoughts
The beauty of dividend investing is how boring becomes powerful over time. Month by month, reinvestments and consistent contributions quietly build momentum. October reminded me why I stick to this strategy — because patience, consistency, and time always win.
