Half the calamitous year of 2020 has passed and it is time to stocktake the dividends collected as passive income from my investments.
I collected the interests from Singapore Savings Bonds (SSB) from Apr to Jun, and dividends from the companies and Reits in my CDP and SRS portfolios.
The total amount of passive income in Q2 2020 is $4,151.49.
Together with the $3,192.33 passive income in Q1, my passive income in the first half 2020 is $7,343.82, which is actually lesser than my monthly active income, but able to cover all my basic necessities and essential expenditure for 6 months, except for my monthly insurance premiums.
I would be able to declare myself being financially free if not for the hefty whole life insurance premiums which was not a savvy decision made some years back.
The following are the streams of CDs, interests and contra trade profits.

$165.54 Mapletree Ind Trade Profit (30 Apr)...
