Monthly Financial Updates

This monthly report excludes any salaried income. The purpose of this financial review is to assess the sustainability of my financial independence, focusing solely on the total amount of passive income received. As of 2024 September 1st, I have officially activated my FIRE journey, meaning I am no longer receiving a salary from a traditional job.

Health issues hit in September, leading to increased medical expenses. Well... not much we can do about it except hope for a speedy recovery.

On a brighter note, it was another "fat" month for dividend income — totaling $6,947.35.
Combined with other income sources, the total came to $9,426.93.

This wraps up the third quarter of the year, with an average monthly income of $7,346, which is higher than previous averages.

 

A counter in my portfolio was delisted and dumped a huge army into my cash holdings. Well, anyone who's been keeping track of REITs probably knows which one. Heeheehee.

So, did I gain any profits? Well, I did — but not much, since my purchase price wasn’t exactly impressive. This has slightly reduced my exposure to REITs.
