October 2018 Dividend Income

Hello everyone and welcome to my October income post. Wow it feels weird typing in October. Where has the time gone? I hope everyone had a great month and received lots of dividends. In October we seen some volatility in the market, my portfolio lost a few thousand dollars in value. Since I am 35 with a long investing horizon it front of me I’m not worried. One reason why I’m not worried is because my dividends continue to increase month after month. October was a busy month for me, I made five purchases, had one dividend increase and even one dividend decrease. 😦

In October I received $546.38 in dividends in my three accounts

• RRSP = $349.48
• TFSA = $170.35
• LIRA = $26.55
