New purchases

I've increase my position in PG and SPFF and now both each carry a weight of almost 5 % in my portfolio so I will probably not buy any more in the near future.
  • 5 PG for $ 88.33 per share for a yield of 3.02 %.
  • 20 SPFF for $ 12.27 per share for a yield of 7.19 %.
  • 13 ALA for 29.18 CAD per share for a yield of 7.4 %.
  • 15 AD for 18.43 CAD per share for a yield of 8.79 %.
As always you find my updated portfolio here.

Here is the summary of the dividends that I received for October. 
  • SDIV 29.2 SEK
  • SRET 29.56 SEK
  • SPFF 47.49 SEK 
  • SDEM 15.19 SEK
  • KO 30.2 SEK

The dividend increase my total for 2017 to 4 300 SEK, which is way off from my goal of 12 000 SEK for the year. I guess my goals might have been a bit too aggressive. If I wouldn't have missed some months it is reasonable I think I would have come half way.

So I've made some accounting errors. Anyhow I think I have the correct numbers now.

Income/expense August 2017

Once again I'm a bit out of time, anyway. August was an expensive month due to some much needed purchases. It's hard to not spend money. I've been thinking about maybe try to have a cheap month and see how that goes. Another step would be to try to see if there is something that I could cut out of my life, but at the moment I have a hard time seeing what that would be.

Expenses: 17 620 SEK
Income:  31 150 SEK
Savings rate: 43.4 %
