My last quarterly update was late by a few days.
So, I am compensating by being a few days earlier with this one.
Also, several things which will need my attention in real life have popped up next month in January.
Unfortunately, they are likely to be very time consuming.
As I still want to spend much of my time in virtual worlds, I might not have much time left in January for blogging.
Neverwinter is launching a new module, Dragonbone Vale, on 11 January but until then, I will be busy in the worlds of Black Desert Online and Genshin Impact.
I am really enjoying Genshin Impact and can imagine losing myself in that world for some time to come.
I blogged about retiring in 3 virtual worlds a few months ago and that included Guild Wars 2.
Genshin Impact has replaced Guild Wars 2 for me.
The 3 virtual worlds for me are now Neverwinter, Black Desert Online and Genshin Impact.
I wish I have many more hours in a day but, sadly, I don't have enough hours each day for more than 3 virtual worlds unless I abandon the real world.
See:
Dividends and retirement in 3 virtual worlds.
This short video clip provides a peek into the world of Genshin Impact.
Anyway, this is going to be a shorter blog as nothing really earth shattering happened in this quarter.
Well, at least I don't remember anything impressive.
If you would like a more detailed update regarding my investments and if you missed my last quarterly update, read:
3Q 2021 passive income: Better days ahead?
OK, on to the numbers.
Total passive income received from my investments in REITs and non-REITs in 4Q 2021:
S$ 21,283.82
Total passive income received for the whole year of 2021:
S$ 171,854.30
This is more than the S$ 120,000.00 that I need per year.
So, 2021 has turned out to be pretty good for me.
However, this number includes a one time distribution made by Accordia Golf Trust which is not going to be repeated.
Everything being equal, therefore, 2022 could see my passive income lower.
I am crossing fingers that 2022 will be a better year than 2021 for me.
Centurion Corporation could pay dividends again while ComfortDelgro and Ascott REIT-BT could pay their investors better in 2022.
Of course, with the Omicron variant of COVID-19 now running amok, things are more likely to get worse for some time to come.
Still, we must never lose hope.
To end this blog, I am leaving a link to a blog which did particularly well this quarter.
If you missed the blog, you might want to read:
Retiring by 40 is a fantasy for most and AK talks to himself.
Regular readers know what I am going to say.
It's still the same old phrase.
If AK can do it, so can you!
Wishing everyone good health and good fortune in 2022!
Happy new year!
