This week was an exception to our usual routine. We did not increase our future income at all. There were no new purchases, no dividend increases and no other changes. The reason is simple. Our cash reserves are currently quite low, and we have a large insurance bill coming up. The available cash is also spread across portfolios in a way that makes purchases inefficient. We are waiting for next week’s dividends before making new buys, but we will continue purchasing in the near future, even if only in very small amounts.
Income this week
The only exception to not increasing our future income was the Main Street Capital DRIP. Our broker settled it unusually late, and we received the share on Friday. Its value was 46,51 €, and it will increase our monthly income starting in August. The rest of the income this week was:
- 15,61 € from remainder of MAIN DRIP
- 5,82 € from Transcontinental
- 48,76 € from Saratoga Investment
- 140,05 € from Kesko
- 19,54 € from MSC Industrial Direct
Total dividend income for the week was 276,29 €, which is above our average. As mentioned earlier, the distribution of this income is a challenge. The dividends arrived in different currencies and into different portfolios, leaving only small cash positions in each. Some of this cash will likely be reinvested after next week’s dividends arrive, but part of it will remain untouched until the insurance payment is handled and we can transfer more money into that portfolio.
Total dividend income for July now stands at 805,62 €. This means we have already broken our previous July record of 754,73 €, and there are still dividends to come before the month ends. We also crossed the 10 000 € mark in cash received during 2026. Our total net dividend income for the year is now 10 120,86 €. At the moment, July’s dividend income is 35,33 percent higher than last year.
