Update for Dec 2019

Result for 2019 is out...  total dividend for the year is 11,629.19 which is lesser than 2016, 2017 and 2018. While it is disappointing, from a cashflow aspect, things are not that bad as the interest income from high yield bank accounts helped to cushion the cashflow impact. Overall, she received an average of $490 from interests (i.e. 3.5% on 50K in her DBS multiplier account, 2.43% on 75K in her UOB One account, an average of 1.65% from esaver account and lastly from SSB.). 

Given the recent purchase of her new flat, she is expecting to incur more expenses due to renovation, stamp duty and legal fee and other miscellaneous expenses. She would expect her interest income to drop further as her excess fund would be deployed for these expenses. It is unlikely that she would be pumping in fund into the equity market until second half of the year.
