May 29, 2026   |   Read online My Dividend Portfolio. Goal: $12K in 120 Months — Month 24, Week 2 ⭐ Dividend Income (Today): $1,084 / month ⭐ For Premium Partners Only 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 partners — Max here! This week, I spent most of my time working on our family portfolio, making a few small adjustments that boosted our dividend income. I covered those changes in detail in the two articles below: Article #1 Founder's Notes: Making the Same Money Work Harder ⭐ Thoughts from Max, founder of MaxDividends MaxDividends • Max Dividends   Article #2 Founder's Notes: Two New Additions to My Family Portfolio ⭐ Thoughts from Max, founder of MaxDividends MaxDividends • Max Dividends   Other than that, everything is going according to plan. I’m continuing to buy shares of companies I know and trust, while my passive income keeps moving in the right direction. As of this week, my projected annual dividend income is up by $248 compared to last week. One more piece of good news: next week marks the beginning of June. Besides the arrival of summer, the first week of every month is traditionally when I reinvest all the dividends received during the previous month. As a result, next week's purchases will be larger than usual. And what does that mean? That's right — even more dividend income heading straight into my bank account! 🚀 Below, you'll find a detailed breakdown of what I bought this week, how the portfolio is positioned today, and what I'm planning 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. Alright — let’s get to today’s buys. So grab a coffee — let’s dig in ☕💪 My Dividend Portfolio. Goal: $12K in 120 Months — Month 24, Week 2: This Week’s Buys What I Bought, How Things Look Every Friday, I put $3,000 plus dividends to work with one clear mission: reach $12,000 a month in dividends within 120 months. But the real reason this works isn’t willpower or motivation. It’s the system — and the technology behind it. The MaxDividends Income System defines what to buy, when to buy, and what to ignore. The MaxDividends App keeps the compass steady — tracking income, scores, risks, and signals whether I’m at my desk, out walking, or fast asleep. The portfolio doesn’t need me to be “on.” It doesn’t care if I’m busy, tired, traveling, or doing absolutely nothing. The process keeps running. What I enjoy most is watching the portfolio do its job — seeing which positions keep quietly compounding, and which names stay on the watchlist until the data finally lines up. That’s how the snowball really builds. Just repeatable decisions, steady dividend deposits, and a system that keeps stacking progress week after week. 🚦 Freedom Bar — One Simple View When you step back and look at the full picture — essentials, lifestyle, family needs, small trips, and a buffer — dividend income stops being a theory and turns into a practical roadmap.

Every reinvested dollar tightens the structure. Every dividend hike raises the floor.

My Word Here 05/29 Update — email me anytime: max@maxdividends.app Alright partners, there’s quite a bit to talk about this week. Overall, it was a pretty quiet week. We added two more dividend increases to the collection - Lowe’s and Universal Corp. Most of the action was in the family portfolio, and I covered all the details in the articles above. Next week, I’ll be reinvesting dividends and sticking to the same game plan. On my watchlist this week are Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and Mueller Industries. I’m also taking a closer look at Domino’s Pizza while keeping an eye on earnings reports. If any of the Dividend Eagles happen to offer an attractive discount, I may shift my attention their way. The system stays the same. Capital stays disciplined. We keep building. Steady steps. Clear roles. Long horizon. That’s the rhythm. The MaxDividends Income System — combined with selecting high-quality dividend companies using our 5-step secret formula, and supported by the MaxDividends app — allows me to build my own path toward financial freedom. Every week I place another brick into the foundation of that future freedom. And today those bricks are already hard to miss. The results are becoming visible. They are becoming tangible. The most remarkable thing about this seemingly simple formula for success is that it’s repeatable. I invest in businesses I genuinely like. I choose companies I trust. And my passive dividend income keeps growing.

This week, I made time to add more shares to each of their portfolios — $300 per portfolio. Every quarter I put $300 into each of my three kids’ portfolios — building generational wealth one brick at a time. Kids’ Portfolios: Focused on capital growth, built around Capital Growth–Focused Dividend Eagles.

And you know what? It works extremely well. Chapter #3: Core Family Portfolio – Bigger Picture This is where the long game plays out. Beyond the weekly $3,000 experiment, my family’s core portfolio is the real backbone — built for high-yield dividend growth, steady compounding, and financial security for years to come. Here I’ll break down where things stand today, how the plan for this quarter looks, and why this portfolio is designed to cover every family expense while still growing stronger over time. I’ve spent the past 20 years building businesses. That’s where most of my capital came from. But now, at 40 and with three kids, I want to stay involved in business and investing on my terms. The Big Idea My goal? More time with family, freedom to focus on what matters, and a portfolio that pays me whether I’m working or not. That’s why in 2025, I’ve started transitioning to fully living off dividends. The mission hasn’t changed: build a high-yield, dividend-growing portfolio that delivers steady cash flow and strong long-term returns. With the MaxDividends Concept, my team and I scan markets across the U.S., Europe, and Asia to find financially strong companies with a track record of raising dividends. This way, I’m not just chasing price growth — I’m building a paycheck that grows by itself. Core Family Portfolio Snapshot Total Invested (cash I personally added): ~$1,643,736 Current Market Value: ~$2,166,069 Current Yearly Dividends: ~$96,487* Dividend Yield on Cost: ~5.86% (*Dividend totals vary slightly due to exchange rates.) This portfolio alone now pays over ~$8,040/month in dividends. Every dollar is reinvested, fueling even faster growth. Companies Purchased This Week No purchases or transactions this week — everything stays the same. Just collecting dividends for now and waiting for May and June, my two biggest payout months so far this year. Core Family Portfolio Breakdown ✅ 90% High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks – These names pay me consistently and raise dividends year after year. ✅ 10% Capital Growth Stocks – A smaller bucket for faster-growing companies.

A new quarter means it’s time to update the plan. Looking back — starting from Q4 2025, my goal was to cross $7,000 in monthly dividend income. Then I set a more conservative target of $7,300 per month by the end of Q1 2026. As of today, my portfolio generates about $7,700 per month in dividends. That means I’ve hit my targets — and I’m running ahead of schedule. For Q2 2026, my goal is to cross $8,000 per month in dividend income. This projection is based on the May and June payouts — typically the strongest months of the year. I expect total dividends during this period to come in around $40,000, plus additional increases from Japanese companies following their fiscal year-end. All in, I believe it’s very realistic to reach this milestone by mid-summer. That’s how this works: steady contributions, rising payouts, and the snowball doing the rest. The strategy doesn’t change. I’m looking for stable, undervalued Dividend Eagles that start with solid yields and have the strength to keep paying and raising over time. Dividends are my lever — I collect them, reinvest them, and let compounding do the heavy lifting. I won’t lock in specific tickers right now — opportunities shift as the quarter unfolds. What matters is scanning the best markets worldwide: the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, the U.K., and Europe, and picking financially strong companies that fit the MaxDividends Income System. And for my kids? The playbook stays the same: $300 each, every quarter. Three kids, three portfolios, one steady strategy to build generational wealth. The mission stays the same too: steady income, steady growth, and the freedom that comes from reinvesting. Right now, it’s all about speeding up the cycle — dividends keep rising, capital keeps compounding, and every reinvested payout brings us closer to true financial freedom. The Long Game By 2033–2035, I expect my Core Portfolio alone to generate $16K–$18K/month in dividends. Combine that with my $12K-in-120-months experiment, and the total passive income goal is $30,000/month. That’s full financial independence: family expenses covered, reinvestment rolling, and freedom secured. *** That’s all for today’s update.
