Welcome to the eighteenth (#18) dividend income report, covering earnings I've made from dividend-paying stocks, peer to peer lending (both fiat and cryptocurrencies) in October 2018.
In case you are wondering why I'm sharing online my earnings - the answer is pretty simple - I like transparency and these reports help me to observe my progress or bounces. Hopefully, my reports can give some inspiration to you as well. (If so, please leave a short comment below) Also, I have a goal to reach one million dollars in my bank account by the time I will turn 60 (27 years still to go).
In short, last October turned better than expected - mostly because I received two dividend payments which were missing in September, plus interest received on Mintos.com platform increased if compared to the previous month.

Goals for October 2019
This is my favorite part of the reports - trying to forecast/set goals for the next year. But before setting goals for October 2019 dividend income, let's see what I forecasted for this October a year ago:
A year from now I'm looking for a humble $120 dividend income in October 2018
Well, we not only made $120 but exceed it by more than $48. Awesome.
When setting goal/forecast for October 2019 I will forecast $230 goal for next year. Should be easy!
