OK, so the year of dividend accumulation is in and December paid off big time!! If I could get $2,093.10 on a monthly basis right now I would quit my full-time job and go live in some third world country like a king. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen, but it is fun to think “What if?”
The other funny thing is that if you have been following this blog for any amount of time you will notice that December accounts for over two-thirds of the total yearly dividends. Speaking of year dividends, the total for the year is $2,918.12 in dividend income. That translates into $243 of monthly income. Breaking it down even further, it comes down to about $8.10 a day. So I thought it would be interesting to look at different income levels and see where I could live now on that money, this is what I found (the number represents the average monthly income for that country):

I told my wife about this list and she just laughed, but it is good to know we have options. It is also crazy to think that over half of all the world is living on less than $243 a month. I am truly blessed to live in a country where I have not only the opportunity to make an honest living, but to grow that wealth. All in my own way and in my own time.
