January 2017 Dividends and Passive Income Progress


I am being not very active with my stock investing because I am switching to real estate investing, so I am trying to accumulate more cash. Plus January was the month when I paid property taxes for my house.
I still plan to invest into my Loyal3 and Lending Club plus IRA and SEP-IRA but not so much into my regular brokerage account. But we will see.

So this month I did my Loyal3 and LendingClub purchases.

Dividends received January 2017:

VER$33.46
BNS$14.99
BCE$19.05

As you can see I was $64 dollars short to reach 3K in my passive stock income.

Additional passive income or free money from different financial institutions:

Interest:                                                          $1.60
Points AMEX                                                   $21.16

Promo gift cards                                             $40.00     
(JC Penny/KOHLS)

My total financial passive income for the month of December was $506.91

It means I am half way to reach my 1K passive income goal from stocks and financial institutions. If I look back into my 2016 month by income December was the best month so far.
