The first month of the year is over. To start this new year, I decided to recreate my blog to keep you informed of my monthly dividends and motivate me to increase my passive income to achieve my goals. Last year I reached my goal of exceeding $1000 in dividends ($1158.44), which represents an increase of 16.87% compared to 2021 ($991.26).

But without further ado, for January 2023, I received $94.93 in dividend income!
