September 2022 Dividends

Greetings everyone, welcome to my September 2022 passive income update.

I can't believe its already the middle of October, the past 6 weeks have really flown by, with the boys back to school, I finally found some time to sit down and write (night shift perk!)  Only one purchase was made in September outside of reinvested dividends, I purchased 6 shares of $SCHD ETF.  This purchase should add approximately $15 USD to by annual dividend income.

Towards the end of the month, two companies announced dividend increases, first Fortis $FTS announced they were increasing their dividend by 6% to $2.26 annually, adding $18.96 in annual income.  The same day, Starbucks $SBUX announced an 8.2% increase to their dividend, bringing it up to $2.12 per year.  This adds a staggering $0.80 USD to my annual income.  One brick at a time!

In September, I received dividends from 13 different companies.  If the dripped shares seem to be in excess of the dividend, it is because I purchased extra shares to use up left over capital from previous dividends received. Here are the results:

TFSA

  • Pembina Pipeline Corp    $53.34 (1 drip)
  • Cenovus Energy               $124.72 (5 drips)
  • Enbridge                           $123.84 (3 drips)
  • Tourmaline Oil Corp        $86.18 (2 drips)
  • Manulife Financial           $55.44 (3 drips)
TFSA Total - $443.52 (14 drips)

RRSP 
  • Whitecap Resources        $39.23 (4 drips)
  • SmartCentres REIT         $38.23 (1 drip)
  • TransAlta Renewables     $25.30 (0 drips (I forgot to reinvest!))
  • Fortis                                $83.46 (2 drips)
  • Energy Select ETF           $94.78 USD (5 drips)
  • Schwab Dividend ETF     $16.55 USD (0 drips)
RRSP Total - $297.55 (12 drips)

RESP 
  • Dream Industrial REIT      $14.82 (1 drip)
  • Enbridge                            $61.92 (1 drip)
  • Suncor                                $59.69 (1 drip)
RESP Total - $136.42 (3 drips)

Grand Total - $877.49  This represents a 41.9% year over year increase in dividend income.  For every hour of the month, I received $1.22 per hour.  Little by little this will continue to grow!


Through September, I have been fortunate to collect $8516.02 in dividend income.  This represents an amazing 152.1% increase from the same time last year!


It appears that I am well on the way to meeting my target of $10,000 in dividends collected for the year!  With only 3 months left to go I will leave my target where it is and contemplate a slightly more aggressive target for 2023.  Thank you for taking the time to review my results.  Enjoy the beautiful fall weather!  Till next time.

January 2022 Dividends

Greetings everyone, welcome to my first passive income report of 2022. January was a pretty quiet month for account activity, I managed to add 33 shares of Manulife Financial, and 200 shares of ARC Resources in my only two transactions of the month, both inside my TFSA.  The $MFC purchase added $43.56 to my annual income, while $ARK added $60.  The $ARK purchase came after selling my remaining 2000 shares in Athabasca Oil Corp.  I believe there were still more gains to be made with $ATH, but I wanted to move those funds into a dividend paying company.  I exited $ATH up 149%, so no complaints at all! One dividend increase was announced for my portfolio - Tourmaline Oil Corp announced an 11% increase to their quarterly dividend adding $22.32 to my annual income, and they also announced another special dividend payable Feb 1st of $1.25 per share.  This follows a special dividend of $0.75 paid last October.  Can't wait for that special dividend to land in my TFSA and add more shares to

Greetings everyone, welcome to my November 2022 passive income update. November was a busy month both in terms of passive income and life.  On the 30th, my family and I said goodbye to my aunt in Winnipeg.  She lived and enjoyed every day of her 87 years on this earth, she will be dearly missed.

On top of my regular contributions to my TFSA, I also added $33.45 from the Ampli app.  This app tracks your spending and rewards you with a percentage, depending on the vendor.  I received an email from them that my accounts became disconnected from their service, not sure I'm inclined to continue with their service, too many adds for vendors no
