    Now for a full year, I have mixed feelings how it went investing wise. In a whole year I would hope to have raised my monthly income comparing the same month a year later by more than $42.78. Part of the lower than liked increase is due to some higher expenses going on in my life, but also from the shifting around of the portfolio in general. The sell of Bell (BCE) which paid into that quarter, Enbridge income fund(ENF) being absorbed by parent company Enbridge (ENB), now paying out in a different Quarter rather than monthly.

   The uptick is from the addition of monthly payers Cineplex (CGX), Plaza Reit (PLZ.UN) and the dividend ETF of XEI. As well as a good amount of DRIP's from Pizza Pizza and Algonquin. PLZ is now also DRIP'ing a share a month.
