Quarantine Roundup – Spend Extra Time Reading these Clever Bloggers – Collection of positive articles and income reports.
Welcome to the quarantine edition roundup.
Every so often when my internet browser’s tabs fill up with blogs I’m reading, I like to put together a roundup to share some of the best articles.
I enjoy sharing articles from other bloggers to encourage bloggers to never stop blogging.
So, I present to you the Quarantine reading roundup:
Quarantine Roundup – Spend Extra Time Reading these Clever Bloggers
Staying Unemployed: Why I’m Giving Up On Going Back To Work by Financial Samurai
Link to Article: Staying Unemployed: Why I’m Giving Up On Going Back To Work
In this article, Sam from Financial Samurai discusses the silver lining of staying unemployed during the pandemic.
“If you’re also considering getting back into the labor market after an extended period of unemployment, maybe now is not the right time. Here is what the Financial Gods are telling me.” -Financial Samurai
The article is written brilliantly with an element of satire that only Sam can pull off while still providing an informative post.
Check out Sam’s list of points here.
Extreme Minimalist or Cheap Bastard by Backpack Finance
Link to article: Extreme Minimalist or Cheap Bastard by Backpack Finance
I really enjoyed this post by Backpack Finance, as it highlights how people can be happier with less and the difference between being cheap vs. spending money on things that bring value.
In this article, Backpack Finance explains why he is willing to pay good money for a quality pair of headphones. However, he’s not willing to spend a lot on brand name jeans, because the jeans don’t bring enough value.
I can definitely relate to this article because I’m not frugal at all when it comes to the things I value. In fact, I am usually willing to pay for top quality products. But when it comes to things that don’t bring value, such as cable T.V., I am not willing to spend the money.

March 2020 Dividend Income by Kody’s Dividends
Link to article: March 2020 Dividend Income by Kody’s Dividends
In this well written income report, Kody from Kody’s Dividends discusses how much dividend income he earned in March, and about how he expects to see his 1st $100 month for income by June 2020.
It’s reassuring to see other dividend income investors continuing to grow their dividend income during these times.
Plus, Kody always adds a personal touch by discussing current affairs in his posts. And if you’re a basketball fan, you will enjoy Kody’s posts because he typically talks about his Milwaukee Bucks.
Check out how much dividend income Kody earned in March here.
March 2020 Passive Income Report – $1,252.63 by Passive Canadian Income
Link to article: March 2020 Passive Income Report – $1,252.63
Another income report from another one of my favourite Canadian Bloggers, Rob from Passive Canadian Income.
In this post, Rob shares his passive income totals for the month of March 2020.
As always, Rob is very transparent with the ways he earns passive income. He includes details on which companies paid, which stocks DRIPed, YoY growth, and he even includes how much he earns from solar income by selling it back to Hydro One.
Check out Rob’s latest passive income report here.
September Blog Income Report: How I Made $290.02 by Hustle and Hearts
Link to article: September Blog Income Report: How I made $290.02
“It took me close to THREE YEARS to start making any sort of income from my blog, and my numbers are STILL small.” -Andrea from Hustle and Hearts
I came across Hustle and Hearts recently while searching the term “Monumetric income reports” on Google.
Hustle and Hearts showed up on the first page along with one of my other favourite blogs, This Online World.
Overall, I enjoyed this post from Andrea, the Blogger from Hustle and Hearts, because it was so transparent and honest.
It’s nice to see income reports from Bloggers at different levels, and it’s helpful to see the different ways they earn income.
If you are a Blogger looking into new ad networks, or even on how to market a blog, I would recommend checking out this post here.
Living Off Dividends: How To Go About It & Why You Should by Dividends Diversify
Link to article: Living Off Dividends: How To Go About It & Why You Should by Dividends Diversify
More than ever, dividend income is carrying my portfolio right now during this pandemic. Even though I lost a lot of money in March 2020 on paper, I experienced a new record for dividend income in one month. This is just one of the reasons why dividend investing is my main strategy.
If you are interested in more reasons to become a dividend investor, I would encourage you to read Dividend Diversify’s article about Living Off Dividends.
In this article, Tom from Dividends Diversify tells the truth about dividend income investing. He explains how it is not a get rich quick scheme. But he also discusses how it can be a great way to build wealth over the long term.
