McDonald's - >>> Fast food retailer McDonald's has the lowest yield on this list at 2.3%, but that's still better than the S&P 500. Plus, this is also a fairly strong and resilient business to invest in. Even though inflation has negatively affected many businesses, McDonald's has been able to adapt.

For the last three months of 2022, the company's global comparable sales were up 12.6%, and in the U.S. they grew by 10.3%. The company says it has "benefited from strategic menu price increases" as consumers clearly have not ditched the restaurant chain despite higher prices. After all, McDonald's has fairly low-cost options for consumers, so increases there may be more modest than at more conventional restaurants. McDonald's earnings rose 16% during the period to over $1.9 billion.

McDonald's dividend looks as safe as ever. Like Medtronic, it has increased its payouts for 40-plus years in a row, and that trend doesn't look like it's in any danger of stopping anytime soon. The company makes dividend payments every March, June, September, and December.

Buying shares of McDonald's and the other two stocks on this list will ensure you're collecting a great dividend each month of the year.
