June 2013 Dividend Income Update- $10k forward dividend milestone

Another month down and I am pleased to report that I broke $10k forward dividends this month.  I started my dividend growth investment game plan in April 2010 so this has taken me a little over 3 years.

The next milestone in my eyesight is also my 2013 goal of  $12k forward dividends- which may be hard to accomplish this year if the markets don't cooperate.  I am hoping for some big dividend increases the second half of the year from some of my big hitters to give me some lift.
