The month of February 2020 is another month of dividend income
landing in my accounts. Recently, I switched my pay yourself first model
to concentrate a little on debt repayment. The interest on debt is
7.16% 6.66% plus the insurance on the debt. During the last week, the Bank of Canada reduced the interest rate by 50bps or 0.50%. I currently pay myself 10% of
income from job(s) and non-registered accounts to my TFSA. The TFSA
income is staying within the account. I will deviate the 10% to savings
account instead of to TFSA if a large expense comes up like a dental
appointment.
Note: All the dividends and totals below are in Canadian Dollars.

I received a total of $319.42 in dividend income for the month
of February 2020. This represents a 2.77% increase from 3 months ago and 39.81% increase year over year.
The increase from 3 months ago is less than 3%. Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund announced a distribution decrease from $0.115 per unit monthly to $0.102 per unit. This decrease in dividend income was offset by the increase in the payment from Bank of Montreal.
I received dividend / distribution income from 10 different companies.
I received $0.00 in option premiums within my investment accounts in February 2020.
Below is a visual of my dividend totals for the last 5 years.
I will update my dividend income tab with the new amount. I will include
my option premium income also. It is great to see money from passive
income sources deposited into my brokerage account every single month.

Lanny,
DeleteI added more shares of BMO, RY and CGX over the last year. The first 2 are great investments and known to be some of the best and safest banks in the world. CGX is getting bought out by Cineworld of the UK in the first half of 2020. Unless, Cineworld backs out due to fears over the conoravirus, the deal should go ahead as shareholders of both companies have voted in favor of the takeover.
