Welcome to the twelfth (#12) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from the Baltic dividend-paying stocks and peer to peer lending (both fiat and cryptocurrencies).
Wow, already twelve dividend income reports, that's one year of tracking my road to the million dollars by the time I will turn 60. The last April marked also a small one-year anniversary since I've been investing in the Baltic stocks, you can read my review here: Baltic Dividend Stock Market Review - Thoughts After Investing for a One Year
April turned out neither good, neither bad. I was looking to crack $100 milestone this month, but because of one dividend payment been paid in May, instead of April, the total income was lower as expected. (That's for the bad news, but still, nothing bad here, as I still will get paid in May).

The cumulative earnings for 2018 are $312.19 which is about 26.02% of my goal for 2018 ($1200)
Monthly Income chart as of April 2018
On the average, I should pull about $110.98 each month for the next 8 months to reach my $1200 goal for 2018. Right now it seems I'm on the right track, as there are already a few months in 2018 I'm looking on close to $150/mo and in fact will try to crack $200/mo milestone this year.

Goals forecasts for March 2019
This is my favorite part of the reports - trying to forecast/set goals for the next year. When looking on April 2019 dividend income, it would be cool to reach $150/mo a year after. From today's perspective - hard, but doable. There are a few scenarios I'm considering now - one it would ask to boost my deposit on Mintos or and buy more Baltic stocks or I should start adding US dividend-paying stocks to the portfolio. I'm looking on both now.
