There are also currently 50 publicly traded companies that pay out monthly instead of quarterly. They're clustered among the real estate, financial services, energy, and utility sectors, and many of them have beaten-down share prices that add even more profit potential as they provide a little jolt of cash every four weeks that helps offset the effects of inflation on your savings and your spirits.

Here are 15 to consider. You'll notice a lot of these yields are less than inflation right now, but keep in mind that the S&P 500 itself is only yielding about 1.4%.
