Dividend Income From Some Canadian Bloggers - October 2022

Covid is still a major topic.  Lots of people getting sick, but we don't know the numbers like we did about a year ago.   Just recently, the top doctor in Ontario suggested everyone where a mask indoors as hospitals are being overwhelmed.

In Alberta, a lot of students are reported off sick.  Parents have called for mandatory masking in schools, but the premier does not seem want to make masks mandatory.

The prices of goods and services continue to increase.  This is due to governments printing money, supply chain issues, and the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war.  The supply chain issues started prior to COVID19 becoming a pandemic, but got a lot worse because of the COVID19 pandemic.   After being stuck at home for about 2 years, people tend to be flooding to restaurants and travelling regardless of the rising inflation environment.  

There are predictions we will be in a recession later in 2022, while others are saying in 2023.

Let's get to the list of dividend income from some Canadian bloggers for October 2022.  Of course, I first want to mention my own dividend income report.

Passive Canadian Income received $2117.63 in passive income for the month of October 2022.  Of this total, $912.82 was dividend income.  The number of new shares / units dripped came in at 35.

All About the Dividends received $621.73 in dividend income and added over $35.53 in forward dividend income via DRIPs.   

Reverse The Crush received $126.92 in dividend income in October 2022.  This is a 63% YoY increase.  

Our Life Financial received $3644.80 in dividend income.  Combined with her husband, they received $4398.80 in total dividend income and 12.28% increase YoY.  

Moneymaaster received $1809.67 in dividend income and dripped 81 new shares/units to boost his future dividend income. 

Labour To Leisure received $445.89 in dividend income and dripped 9 new shares.

My Own Advisor and Gen Y Money shared their individual dividend income updates with the world. Although their actual amount of dividend income received in October 2022 is not mentioned, there is some great information in their respective posts.    

Fire We Go received $2426.20 in dividend income for the month of September. 

Conclusion:

We all started with $0.00 of passive income and have grown our investments over time. Each "BUY" transaction can provide ongoing dividend income which may also be increased over time.

In Canada and the United States, many brokerage accounts offer commission free trades and/or commission free ETFs. You can get started on your investing journey with very little money.

Dividend Income Update - October 2022

         

The month of October 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!

Update on paying myself first. At the start of August 2022, I now pay myself 35%.  This will consist of 25% to investing and 10% to savings. 

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

I received a total of $899.77 in dividend income for the month of October 2022. This represents a 13.23% increase from 3 months ago and 31.6% increase year over year.

Portfolio Update - October 2022

The month of October 2022 is now behind us.

The inflation is taking its toll on the economy.  The price of food, gasoline, and utilities remain high.  The price on carbon adds another layer to this increase.  The inflation is also due to cost of shipping as there is a huge backlog of ships at ports that are waiting to be offloaded.

The federal government introduced a bill in the House of Commons that would double GST payments for 6 months.  The bill passed and got passed in the senate.  This first week of November, millions of Canadians received these GST checks.

Currently, COVID19 is affecting China.  This will have an effect on the amount of goods available.
