Wealth: February Dividend Income

Moving forward from February to March, life marches on and so do the dividends! This was a very good month for me - in health, in stocks, and in life. That is no lie.

February was most prominently a great month for my health. I've taken major steps forward with the weight that I've been able to lift in the gym. I've moved from doing three sets of ten on moderately decent weights to lifting four sets of fifteen on high weights and the results are really showing. Where it might just be through my clothing, I know that it is a positive sign for the future if I continue on the path that I am going.

As for stocks, February was also a great month. I feel like I grabbed one of the best companies that I could with the acquisition of QCOM. It's a great company with a strong moat, a long history of dividend payments, and a strong brand name. It's also a name that I am very familiar with since I grew up in San Diego where the company calls home. There were also other potentials that were fairly priced but only QCOM grabbed the monthly funds.



Finally, in life I received further gifts. My brother just found out he will be having his first son and I therefore just found out that I will be gaining my first nephew! Words can't express how proud and happy I am that this news came as I know how important it is for my brother to have a son. Even though it took three tries and we all thought he may continue to be further outnumbered by his wife and daughters, it turns out that the third time is actually the charm!

But I digress as this is foremost a post to share the dividend income received for the month of February. The results are as follows:
