Dividend Income Update - January 2022

 

The month of January 2022 is another month of dividend income landing in my accounts.

Due to becoming debt free, I changed my pay myself model. Starting the beginning of August 2021. I am paying myself 30%, just like before. This will now consist of 24% to investing, and 6% to savings. The investment portion is going to my TFSA. Any money left over at the end of the month, I put towards investing on top of the money allocated from paying myself first. Hopefully, I can keep this up!

Note: All the dividends and totals below are in Canadian Dollars

I received a total of $750.40 in dividend income for the month of January 2022. This is the first time I surpassed $700.00 in a single month in dividend income.  This represents a 9.74% increase from 3 months ago and 11.29% increase year over year.

I received dividend / distribution income from 15 different companies.

I received $0.00 in option premiums within my investment accounts in January 2022.

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.

Note: Any activity in my RRSP account is not included in these totals.
