I share everything so you can follow everything Iām doing with 100% transparency. The point of doing all this is to show you that itās possible and provide some sort of framework that can be followed. This isnāt financial advice, and you shouldnāt exactly replicate my investing. What you should do is figure out what works best for you and stick to the basics of dollar-cost averaging, investing in good assets, avoid liabilities, compounding interest, be frugal, buy low, and sell high.

Below I will list everything for the monthly report:
I cover the recent stock buys I went through, share my portfolio breakdown updates, and share my thoughts on the current market. Not a lot has happened this month, Iāve just been repaying back my āborrowedā tax money. I am currently making about $137.33 a month from passive income mostly from stock dividends, crypto income, and some from music royalties. Iām on track to hit my goal of earning $150 on average per month from passive income by the end of the year. This will effectively cover 3 utility bills once achieved.
Ā
My portfolio is roughly rounded to about 86% crypto, 14% stocks, and less than 1% in precious metals. While Iām still earning a great deal of crypto I am not adding more to my positions and instead saving up some money before I focus on maxing out my TFSA.
Ā
My total annual projected income from passive sources is $1724.92. $1,464.99 of those yearly profits are coming from stock dividends, about $181.73 are coming from cryptocurrency staking, I already earned about $16.38 from my RealT crypto tokenized real estate before I sold it, and $61.83 came from music royalties. My crypto income project has gone way up now that Iāve started focusing more on building my passive income crypto positions.
Ā
In my last update, my total portfolio value was $269,853.08 CAD. My current portfolio value with all my investments is $250,821. This is down about $19,000 from last monthās total value. This isnāt a huge dip, so Iām not too worried. Over the past several months Iāve dealt with volatility upwards of $60,000 portfolio swings so this isnāt anything new and I still believe we are on track for a big rise soon.
Ā
I earned $59.18 CAD from stock dividends, $0 CAD from crypto real estate, and $7.95 CAD from my last month of staking Hive, HBD, TRX, and MTR staking on Den.Social. In total, I have earned about $331.55 CAD from crypto and $1,114.17 CAD from stock dividends. I have been starting to focus more on crypto passive income. Also note that I accidentally shared these stats on September 2nd for Julyās report instead of Julyās numbers so donāt be confused. My apologies.
Ā
My portfolio in terms of sector breakdown is now 12% Utilities, 20% Insurance, 18% Banking, 25% Real Estate, 1% into an Investment Fund, and 24% into general ETFs. Iāve not changed anything other than buying a few more shares in an investment fund. My goal is to average about a 5% yield on my portfolio and Iām currently at an average yield of 4.83% which Iām comfortable with.
I am currently still down -32% on $4,300 worth of Bitcoin ETF growth stocks and up 12.51% on my $32,635 worth of dividend stocks.
Ā
For crypto, my breakdown is now 2% LBC, 3% DASH, 2% BCH, 1% LTC, 53% ETH, and 39% BTC. This is allegedly valued at $199,183 CAD at the time of writing this. Iāve been going all-in on BTC & ETH as I truly believe the next few months will be life-changing and Iāve aligned my financials accordingly over the past year. I still expect to see big changes in the next few months if not the next year and if not that, then in the next cycle.
