    10 yrs ago we received just under $2,500 in dividends for the entire year. Today we get more than $3,400 per month. Slow and steady wins the race. ✌️tawcan.com/dividend-incom…

    I interviewed a fellow Canadian dividend investor last month. He & his wife receive $360,000 in dividends each year. I'm excited to announce that the part 1 of the interview will go live next Monday. 😊

    A reader contacted me a while ago telling me that he & his wife get over $360k of dividend each year. After a lot of email exchanges, I've learned so much from him. So cool!

    In 2013 we received $5,456.20 in dividend income for the ENTIRE year. Now 10 years later, we just received $5,343.33 in dividend income in one month! This a perfect example of money working hard for us so we don't have to. tawcan.com/dividend-incom…

    Just realized that we crossed the $40,000 dividend income milestone. More payments expected before the end of 2022. Will be interesting to see how much we end up with. #blessed πŸ™

    Hard to believe it was over 6 years ago when I got featured in the MoneySense Magazine. $12k dividends a year then, this year we're expecting over 4 times of that. moneysense.ca/save/investing…
