May 2016 Dividends and Passive Income Progress


It's time to report my May progress.

In May besides my monthly Loyal3  investments I purchased

10 shares of AAPL - Apple
21 shares of VLO - Valero Energy.

Dividends received in April 2016:
AAPL$1.20
BMO$16.82
DRI$17.56
KMI$8.73
NE$0.65
PG$17.45
RY$11.69
T$13.89
TD$15.77
YUM$0.34
Total$104.10

This is 23% decrease comparing to May 2015.

I analysed why this happened and this decrease was due to decrease in KMI and NE dividends.

Here 2014/2015 vs 2016:

Additional passive income or free money from different financial institutions:


Interest:                                                          $13.80
Points AMEX                                                  $69.78
Points Discover                                              $14.03
JC Penney/Kroger/Academy                          $25.00
Ebates - get paid for shopping online            $23.00

You might noticed that my points from AMEX is higher than usual. This was due an Amex special offer to cash your points with 20% off, which I used and it gave me extra $50 in gift cards. 
             
My total financial passive income for the month of May was $249.71


At this moment my goal is to have $1k in monthly passive income from dividends and other financial institutions.
