Hi partners — Max here!

Another great week is in the books, and I’m continuing my dividend journey — hope you are too. One thing worth calling out: I’m closer than ever to my first real milestone.

Recently, I started tracking something just out of curiosity — the income forecast the MaxDividends App gives me for the start of the next quarter, and how it actually turns out. I’ve turned it into a simple quarterly game.

If my real income by the start of the new quarter beats the forecast I saw three months ago — I mark it green. If it comes in below — I mark it red.

Why do I do this?

Because if my actual income consistently meets or exceeds the projections from the MaxDividends App, then those forecasts are not just theoretical — they’re reliable and close to reality.

And that gives me a whole different level of confidence when I look at where my dividend income could be in 5–10 years.

Let’s take a look together — Q1 2026 is now behind us. Below are the forecasted numbers and the actual results as we entered Q2.

My portfolio is now generating about $992 per month in dividend income on average. The steps are getting bigger. Just $8 separates me from hitting $1,000/month in dividends.

I think I’ll cross that line next week. What do you think?

That’s exactly why I love dividends. I have no idea what the market will do next week — but I’m about 99% confident I’ll reach that $1,000/month level.

That kind of predictability — that’s what matters today.

Below you’ll find a detailed breakdown of what I bought today, how the portfolio looks right now, and my plans for next week and beyond.

My portfolio is a fully transparent, real-time journey — no polishing the numbers and no adjusting results after the fact.

It’s a path anyone can follow with the right system and the MaxDividends app.
