My monthly dividend income payout for Jan 2025

Tweet

because of my thyroid cancer, I received an amount of early critical illness payout with Cancer guard payout with a total of $200,000. I was very heavily into insurance purchases which I did not expect a cash component for the investment so indirectly, the money was like a windfall to me. Instead of spending it on a car that last for 20 years old, I decided to try my hand on income fund investment with the objectives of these funds giving me monthly income each month. With this, I hope to retire in another 10 years time at the ripe old age of 55. It is going to be a difficult challenge but will be happy to accept the challenge. There are a lot of registrations and start up issues in the beginning. I am happy to do it with help from my wealth manager. In the month of January, I am glad that I received an income of $1,038 in January. It may not be a lot and still some distance from my target retirement incomes of $6,000 but I am happy that it is still a good start. (I had been sharing my investment journey on my blog which link is found on my profile) I will be consolidating and concentrating on only 3 income funds which will continue to give me more incomes. I am more mindful with my spending and hope to spend lesser and invest more into these funds. I will continue to contribute maybe a post here on a monthly basis to share my financial journey towards financial freedom.
