Yum! Brand Gave Me A Pay Raise!

You all know I am a dividend investor. Anytime a company pays out a dividend, I get paid. Essentially, it's another payday for me beyond my day job. Because of this, I invest in stock/funds that pay out generous and sustainable dividends. I prefer to consider a stock an asset rather than equity. I **don't** want to **sell the cow** to make money, I'd rather **sell the milk** it creates. Sometimes these companies will raise the dividend that they pay out to their share holders. Today we are looking at **Yum! Brands**. They declared that their next dividend payment will be **$0.47 per share** owned. The previous dividend **per share was $0.42**. This is a **$0.05 pay raise per share**. If we break this down, that is an **11.9% pay raise!** Pretty juicy! If you own shares of **$YUM** by February 13th, you'll be able to receive this dividend. You will get the payment on March 6th for this.  Personally, I do not actively invest in $YUM. Instead, I use a platform called **Bumped** to help me earn stock back rewards. When I purchase from **Taco Bell** or **Pizza Hut** I earn fractional shares of $YUM. Overall, **I have 0.168 shares** of $YUM. It is not a huge holding, but I earned it passively, for free, and it earns me a dividend. I'll be getting roughly **$0.07** in dividend from $YUM in March.
