I am writing this report from Korea, battling the language barrier and enjoying the incredible food! I haven’t had much time to work on anything, still getting settled in but hopefully by next month I can share some more information about side hustles and more
Let’s have a closer look at the breakdown of income for March:
Passive Income
| Investment | Amount |
| APN AREIT Fund | $53.32 |
| APN Asian AREIT Fund | $54.56 |
| Charter Hall PFA Fund | $115.65 |
| UBank Interest | $32.45 |
| HSBC Interest | $19.79 |
| CBA Dividend | $132 |
| MLT Dividend | $97.29 |
| RateSetter Interest | $3.28 |
The Property funds and bank interest arr producing steady income as expected and it is very welcome especially now that I have taken long term leave from my job. Again I would love to increase my investments in these stable, income-producing assets. Update: There was a MLT dividend I missed adding here, so it’s in there now.
CBA this month has paid out a decent dividend for myself, CBA was actually my first share purchase and has provided plenty of dividends over the years. Although I wonder how they will hold up over the coming years where there seems to be a lot of potential disruption coming to the banking industry.
As per usual RateSetter interest is still decreasing due to my extraction of my capital.
Side Hustle Income
| Side Hustle/Other | Amount |
| Matched Betting | $194.84 |
| Up | $20 |
I have continued with matched betting this month and it has given a decent return. I probably spend about 6 hours a week but I am getting faster at doing it. Hopefully the next couple of months will also be more profitable.
I also signed up to Up bank which gave me a small sign up bonus. Up is a fully digital bank backed by Bendigo Bank and the experience has been very smooth. The app and card are great and really make a statement. It is also very easy and quick to transfer money around, I might do a more in depth review when I have played around with it some more.
A total of $723.18 this month.
About a 50% drop from the previous month but still extremely happy with the income I am receiving per month not attached to my job. I think most of my big dividends have been paid for the year so I will have to pick up the other areas to make up for that income
Number 4 completed! Hopefully I will be pushing out some more articles before the end of April around matched betting and something undecided :p. I hope you are all enjoying reading my updates, please let me know any suggestions in the comments :).
Hi FFA, working from Korea sounds interesting (and challenging!)
That’s a nice diversified mix of income – and got to love those sign up bonuses for new accounts! Every little bit helps 🙂
Cheers, Frankie
Cheers Frankie,
