Dividend Update: September 26

September was back to work for me and it has been the typical grind of coming back after the holidays. It takes some time getting back to it and apart from work and sports, there has not too much been going on. 

The one thing I did was to climb a mountain here in Ecuador as I'm preparing to climb the Cotopaxi before Christmas. To do that, I agreed to climb one mountain every month with my colleague to get used to it and train. We climbed the Sincholagua, which is close to 4900 meters high (we started around 3700 meters). It was mostly walking up-hill and the weather was, apart from some very strong gusts of wind, pretty good. Only at the end did I really have to climb a part of the mountain with gear to reach the peak. I'm by no means an expert, which is why it was satisfying to get over that hump and make it to the peak. I'm already looking for the next mountain here to further prepare myself for the Cotopaxi. 

While I was busy grinding away at work, September proved to a rather fruitful month when it comes to dividend. After the "lull" of August, I once again managed to cross the 1K in a month barrier, helped by a generous dividend of the cyclical Rio Tinto. Here's to hoping that I can stay above 1K in the Janaury/April/July/October and March/June/September/December quarters, which would be a really nice achievement already. In fact, I know that a large amount of people here earn less every month from their job, which of course means that I could technically live here already somewhat comfortably. But that is a though for another day. Below you find the complete overview of the dividends:
