Dividend Income Update - November 2023

          




The month of November 2023 is another month of dividend income landing in my accounts.  A new record of dividend income received in a single month. 

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 $378.77 in dividend income for the month of November 2023. This represents a 4.40% increase from 3 months ago and 6.05% increase year over year.

I received dividend / distribution income from 8 different companies.

I received $0.00 in option premiums within my investment accounts in November 2023.

Below is a visual of my dividend totals for the last 5 years.

Most of my dividend income comes from my margin account.  As more investments and DRIPs are made inside TFSA, the percentage of dividend income for the TFSA is increasing.

As from this graph, I surpassed last years total dividend income at the end of October.  My total dividend received in 2023 is 6.33% above the total for all of 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.
