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.

Labour Day! I almost forgot today is a public holiday—oops!

It’s been a long, drawn-out month with some lingering illness; I only managed to recover last week. Hmm… April is always a strange month with various things going on. Ah well.

After a strong March, the dividends for April amounted to $1,237.45. Together with rental income and other sources, the total came to $3,708.59. Not too bad as a start to the new quarter. Still, I can see a difference compared to past records—the dividend income is lower this year. It looks like global events are affecting it as well.

 

The portfolio remains unchanged. There’s not much I can adjust at the moment, aside from the rising cash holdings.
