Hello and welcome to my November dividend income post. Hope all of you had a great month. November was awesome for me, I saw a record amount of dividend income for the month of November and I received six dividend increases. I received $502.79 in income from 11 stocks and 1 ETF. This beats my previous November high of $499.99 which occurred last year. Here is the breakdown of income per account:
- RRSP $256.49
- TFSA $246.30
If you’re new to the site my RRSP is all in US dollars and all of my Canadian stocks sit in my TFSA and LIRA. When sharing with you the income I receive I don’t convert the US dividend income into Canadian for simplicity.

What brokerage are using to gain partial drip shares from Canadian banks? I am a Canadian as well.
