The ex-dividend date is important when it comes to dividend investing. It tells you if you're eligible for the next dividend payout or if you have to wait until the next cycle. 

Waiting could mean a month or a year depending on the frequency of the company's payouts. That's why we prefer monthly payers. Monthly payouts also compound faster.

The main thing you need to know about the ex-dividend date is that it can affect a stock's price. And since price determines how many shares you can buy with your money, it's a good thing to be aware of.

Use this calculator to see the difference in value if you get dividend payouts monthly versus quarterly. It does make a difference and it gets bigger the longer your time frame.

Preferred shares are a great way for new or timid investors to branch out from typical fixed income assets like bonds and CDs into stocks. 

They offer a less volatile price option to that of common shares of the same stock which keeps you're principle more in tact. 

Preferred shares also give you priority of payouts over common stock holders. That means you still get paid if dividends get cut.

Bonds are an essential part of any investment portfolio whether you're trying to preserve its principle or generate a fixed income.

But bonds tend to come with some unappealing tradeoffs like low risk but safe or risky and higher coupon payments. 

We show you how you can make more from bonds while avoiding the pitfalls. You just have to know how and when to buy them.

Funds are the alternate way to go for investing in bonds, but there aren't that many good ones. We're invested in DSU which pays a ~10% dividend yield.

Does seeing a huge financial goal leave you feeling defeated? You're not alone. 

Seeing $1Million as a retirement target often stops people from even starting to invest in the first place. 

This number doesn't have to be that high. In fact, you can actually slash it in half and shorten the time it takes to retire by using an income investing strategy. 

Income investing also creates consistent monthly cash flow without the need to sell off any assets.

As an intro we discuss how certain aspects of our lives led to us wanting to live a nomadic life and how we could fund such a dream. 

From Tim's hypothermia scare forcing us to sleep in the trunk of the car, burnout from being overworked, and quitting jobs to strike out on adventures...

We tried flipping real estate, investing in start ups, chasing growth stocks, and starting businesses, but had mishaps with each endeavor.

Eventually, Tim stumbled onto the hidden potential of passive income from dividend stocks in the book Beyond Wealth. 

The second half of the episode gives an overview of the general principles of our income investing strategy that we'll be covering in future episodes.
