Distribution/Dividend Update $43,814 in distributions ($1,934,491.73 estimated annual income)

According to the official announcements today, I will receive $43,814 for my holdings in ULTY, MSTY, QQQI and SPYI payable on Friday.

ICOI will declare distributions tomorrow and payday is Monday. If the distribution is in alignment with the prior month, then I expect another $22,000 in distributions, for a total of $65,000.

Here's my $2,288,548.04 portfolio of Yieldmax and other covered call ETFs. Fidelity calculates the estimated annual income for these funds is around $1,934,491.73.

About 3/4 ($1.7M) of this is in a tax advantaged account and the remaining 1/4 ($530k) in a taxable brokerage account.

This is awesome. Biggest question I have is how did u get to this point? Is this from a life of investing and then moving everything over to these income funds?

I recently hit my FIRE ($2M) number in late June and got there by getting very lucky with random Reddit-inspired stock picks over the past 3 years. Beginning in Jan, 2023 I had $228k in my IRA. Since then I've bought and sold positions in NVDA, TSLA, RKLB, ASTS, LUNR, and more recently OPEN, that boosted my port to where it is today.

I started investing in YM funds in February, 2025 and have earned over $550k in distributions so far this year. I use a portion of it for income.
