Dividend Income & Portfolio Update
Personal Highlights – February 2022
- This is going to be a quick update. Not really feeling writing an update this month as everything kind of sucks in the world….but I haven’t missed one since I started, so I’ll do a quick one!
-
Financial Highlights for February:
- I’ve been really focusing on maxing my TFSA out this year. Very early on I never contributed to it at all – as I was only putting money into an RRSP. I have since switched my focus. As of January 1st, I had $29,614 contribution room available. In the first 2 months of the year I’ve been able to contribute $7000. I am hopeful by the end of the year I’ll have this maxed out. Once this is maxed out – we will focus on maxing out Amber’s(she has 50k+ room) and once that is done – we can start seriously looking at paying off house/early retirement. I will write a longer post on this “plan” in the coming months.
- Made 3 purchases in February! I bought the following:
– 78 Shares of Brookfield Asset Management @ $69.00
– 150 Shares of GoEasy Financial @ $155.00
– 800 Shares of XAW @ $33.98
These 3 purchases add an additional $1114.20 in dividend income. - RBNK (Canadian Banking ETF) increased their dividend which now allows me to drip an additional share each quarter. I plan to continue to add to this position as well as Brookfield.
- Received dividends from 7 companies and 1 funds. Dripped an additional 28 shares/units. Last year I dripped a total of 603 new shares. So far this year I have dripped 114 in the first 2 months!
