This month goes to be a really busy one for me.
I lately shared this with my YouTube group and in case you are questioning learn how to be part of it, right here is the hyperlink:

So, earlier than I get too busy, I made a decision that I ought to get this quarterly replace out pronto.
Many hobbies and never sufficient time.
I suppose that is how retirement must be like.
Doing issues not as a result of we now have to and never as a result of we rely on them to make a residing.
I imply if I have been churning out blogs and YouTube movies every day as a result of I want the cash, it is not retirement or at the least it is not a retirement I’d need.
Oops.
I’ve to step on the brakes or this might be flip right into a weblog about F.I.R.E. as a substitute.
Earlier than I’m going off observe, how a lot passive earnings did my portfolio generate for me in 2Q 2024?
$81,339.05
This is kind of the identical as 2Q 2023 which noticed $79,774.61.
Some investments comparable to AIMS APAC REIT, Frasers Logistics Belief, VICOM and Raffles Medical Group generated much less earnings for me.
So, though I acquired extra earnings from my investments in DBS, OCBC and UOB, the uplift is much less noticeable.
Because the title of this weblog suggests, I’m fairly completely satisfied to be a captain of a gradual boat.
Not looking for higher progress however a gradual stream of significant passive earnings.
As revealed in my final weblog put up, I’ve been socking away extra money in SSBs and T-bills, rising the chance free bond part of my portfolio.
This may contribute to my passive earnings, though not by a lot.
Whilst rates of interest steadily scale back into subsequent yr, I see our native banks as higher investments than most for buyers for earnings like me.
With DBS, OCBC and UOB accounting for greater than 45% of my portfolio, I anticipate a gradual stream of passive earnings, barring the unthinkable.
The query is what if one thing have been to go flawed?
Nicely, I’ve already gotten a style of it in the course of the pandemic years.
I blogged about how I used to be apprehensive again then when passive earnings diminished as dividends have been slashed or suspended.
The takeaway was the significance of getting a buffer.
That is in order that even with diminished passive earnings, we will nonetheless be fairly comfy.
In 3Q 2024, I believe my passive earnings would scale back, yr on yr.
I’d be fairly shocked if there is not a discount.
It’s because I diminished my funding in Sabana REIT considerably and I discussed this in my final weblog put up too.
Sabana REIT was previously considered one of my smallest largest investments.
So, there must be some affect.
After all, one quarter doesn’t make a yr.
I’d simply have to attend and see.
I’d be fairly completely satisfied if full yr passive earnings is available in kind of unchanged, yr on yr.
Do not imagine investing for earnings works?
If AK can do it, so are you able to!
