From $4 → $2,177 per quarter. My all-time $SCHD dividend journey (2018 Q3 → 2026 Q1): Now that the latest payout has been declared, here’s the full update… ⸻ Dividend Growth • First payout: $4.04 • Latest payout: $2,177.77 • Total collected: $19,077.27 ⸻ 📈 Total Return (as of 3/24/26) • Shares: 8,477.1 • Cost per share: $25.28 • Total cost: $214,299 • Market value: $259,738 • Price gain: +$45,440 (+21.2%) • Dividends received: $19,077.27 • Total return: +$64,517 (+30.1%) • Yield on cost: 4.14% • Annual income: $8,880 • Shares added since last dividend: 246.89 ⸻ 📌 Growth Over Time Started with ~30 shares in May 2018 → now 8,477.1 shares This didn’t happen by accident. Reinvested every dividend. Bought consistently. And leaned into dips, especially the bigger ones in 2022, 2023, and 2025. Building patiently over time Step by step. Brick by brick. ⸻ What the charts below show 1. Shares Owned Growth Over Time: Shares steadily compounding through buys + reinvestment 2. Cumulative Dividend Growth: Total dividends paid over time. 3. Dividend Payouts Over Time: Dividends paid every quarter since 2018! ⸻ Note: I’m actively building my $SCHD position, but it’s not my only investment. I’ve been automatically investing in low-cost broad market index funds since I was 24. I’m 50 now. I continue to DCA into the S&P 500 every 2 weeks no matter what. I also invest in other growth and dividend ETFs, along with individual stocks. Thanks following the journey I appreciate it.🙏
