December Dividend/interest received is about SGD $5.2k and this brings my 2022 annual dividend/interest income to $91K. 2022 investment income received increased by 23% compared to 2021. From my annual Dividend/Interest Income chart in the last 10 years, it can be seen that my return has been languishing at low 10-15k annually prior to 2016 but I have increased my investment income by almost 6 times in the last 7 years since I took up dividend investment around mid 2016. My cumulative dividend/interest since 2016 has hit around 406k. However, it was not plain sailing with dividend investment in the last 7 years.
