My Dividend Portfolio. Goal: $12K in 120 Months — Month 20, Week 3
Dividend Income (Today): $860 / month
💡 MaxDividends Mission: Helping people build growing passive income, retire early, and live off dividends.
Every Friday, I share what I’m buying — real moves, no fluff. The plan is simple: mix high yield with dividend growth to build income that grows year after year.
My goal is $12,000/month in ~10 years. This journey is open to anyone — it’s about creating a legacy, taking care of loved ones, and leaving behind a stream of income that outlives you.
Hi — Max here.
Every Friday, we sit down together and look at real progress. Real money. Real ownership. No theories, no headlines, no hype.
This week is no exception.
Another mile behind us. Another calm, disciplined step forward. And once again, the numbers quietly confirm what we already feel inside: when income is built the right way, everything starts to slow down — in a good way.
If you’re already on this path, you know exactly what I mean. You’ve probably noticed how the noise fades. How the endless chatter about the “next big rocket” doesn’t pull you in the same way anymore. You listen, you smile, and you keep doing your thing.
Sure, sure — this brand-new mega startup will definitely change the world. We’ve all heard that story before. Meanwhile, we’re calmly adding shares of businesses that sell everyday essentials, generate real cash, and pay us for owning them.
While the world chases the next Tesla, we quietly turn growing monthly cash flow into toilet paper, razor blades, healthcare, tools, and groceries. It’s not flashy. But it works.
What felt distant not that long ago has now become routine. And every routine week brings us one step closer.
I follow the system. I enjoy the process. I enjoy the results of what’s already been built — and I look ahead calmly. Market swings don’t bother me much anymore. At times, it honestly feels like I could buy even without looking at prices.
Where does that calm come from?
It comes from having a system. From having a plan. From seeing visible progress — with results running ahead of schedule.
A well-built system lifts you to a different level.
That’s exactly why MaxDividends exists: the MaxDividends Income System, powered by our dividend intelligence app — a proven, safe financial engine that turns invested capital into growing dividend income so you can live off dividends and retire early on your own terms.

The $12K Journey — Where Things Stand Today
The flywheel keeps turning.
Monthly dividend income is now around $860, and four months this year have already delivered $1,000+ in dividends directly into my bank account. That doesn’t make headlines. But you and I both know this is how real momentum is built.
Not rushed. Not forced. Just steady execution.
Every reinvested dollar adds weight. Every dividend raise lifts the floor. Every week strengthens the system.
And this past week was another clean example of that.
This Week’s Buys
Just over $3,100 was put to work — calmly, deliberately, and fully aligned with the system.
One of the businesses I continue to build is a global leader in animal health — a company operating in a niche with recurring demand, strong pricing power, and long-term structural growth. It’s the kind of compounder I’m happy to keep adding to, especially when prices cooperate.
Another position is a large, everyday retail cash-flow machine — a household-name business built around scale, brand loyalty, and steady demand. Not exciting, not flashy, but exactly the kind of “boring but reliable” company that quietly supports the income side of the portfolio.
Two high-quality businesses were added. One defensive. One growth-oriented. Exactly how the Income System is built to operate.
Same rhythm. Same mission. The system filters the noise, highlights quality, and helps us act with confidence instead of emotion.
You’ve seen this journey unfold week after week. The goal is simple and long-term: $12,000 per month in dividends within 120 months. Not for excitement. For freedom. For family. For a stream of income that outlives us.
Right now, the roadmap is very real.
We’re about 32% of the way there based on the 10-year dividend forecast, which now stands at roughly ~$3,200 per month. That may not sound dramatic at first glance — but this is exactly the stage where compounding starts to matter.
Momentum is no longer theoretical. It’s visible.
A growing list of everyday expenses is already covered by future dividend income. Utilities. Phone. Food. Insurance. Small trips. Even part of housing is now on the roadmap. Once dividends start touching rent — even at 6% — something clicks. You can see the finish line forming.
This is no longer “someday.” This is direction.
