In this blogpost I will list my dividend and option income for October and November 2019.
Let's start with November, the most recent month:
In November I received a total of $1,158.89. This is made up of $208.23 of dividends and $950.66 from selling options.
These are the stocks that paid me a dividend:

Realty Income: $4.82
Starbucks: $14.64
Texas Instruments: $15.30
Williams-Sonoma: $28.56
Last year November I received $153.3 in dividends. That means that this year I received %35.83 more dividends than last year November. Sweet!
And here's the numbers for October:

Updated graph
Here's the updated dividend income graph:
All dividends are after dividend taxes of 15%, but I can reclaim this via the Dutch IRS, so there's an added bonus there when I do my taxes for 2019 (in March next year).

On 15 October I bought 30 shares of Albemarle (ALB) for $68.26 per share (including commissions), for a total of $2,048.07.
