Dividend Investing - Month 7

The month of September provided a 1.55% increase in avg. monthly dividend gain.  Although its a small gain, it is STILL a gain!  I also keep in mind that I get a whopping 2-4% max. increase in my salary ONCE a year with my day job. 

At this point in time, I am still concentrating my efforts on debt reduction.  High payout ratios for our dividend stocks are not sustainable and usually end in tragedy.  I think the same about me with my personal debt.  If I lose my job and am still forced to make interest payments on loans, what will my payout ratio become?  I don't even want to think of the figures.

A few stocks I will be following for October, MCD, INTC and NSC.
