December Dividend/interest received is about SGD $4.9k and this brings my 2021 annual dividend/interest income to $74.3K. Total 2021 return is $140K. 2021 investment income received increased by 26% compared to 2020 and it was the highest since I took up dividend investment from 2016. From my annual Dividend/Interest Income chart in the last 10 years, it can be seen that my saving return was languishing at low 10k annually prior to 2016. My current investment portfolio yield is around 6%.

As I still have significant cash holding and cash flow from my dividend, I will be looking for more opportunities in 2022 to add more dividend stocks to boost my investment income up to 80k .
2021 investment portfolio total return including dividend received is around 8.9%...
