November 2015: Dividend Update!

    Writing about my monthly dividends is one of my favourite posts to write about. I think most dividend bloggers would agree if you ask them which post is the easiest to write as well. If not only because you write about the money you make while not working. And it is also fun to put together, tally up and compare the results from previous months.

    I also really enjoy watching the steady upward progression of my dividend income. Whether it be through actively adding more stocks, or new position into my portfolio, or the companies which I already hold raise their dividend payouts. For instance, this month my dividend income increased for both of those reasons!

Company	Ticker	$(Cdn)	Notes
Dream Office REIT	D.UN	22.21
Pembina Pipeline Corp.	PPL	10.68
Pizza Pizza	PZA	9.52
RioCan REIT	REI.UN	9.40	+73 shares
Veresen	VSN	14.24
National Bank of Canada	NA	3.12
Royal Bank of Canada	RY	31.6	+$.80, Div raise!
Total Dividends		100.77

    In the last comparable month in August my dividend income was $96.59. With November bringing in $100.77, that is an increase of $4.18. While certainly that is not a huge amount by many means, it does represent a 4.15% increase in dividend income, or in other terms about twenty minutes of working at minimum wage, or perhaps a tasty treat of choice.
