How much is my Passive Income in 2Q 2026?

  

Almost half the year of 2026 is behind us.

While I am grateful to be a wage slave having collected 6 months of salary from work, I am actually not happy because active income is derived from trading time for money, seeing stakeholders' faces, dealing with crappy work portfolios and worse of all, taking a toil on mind, soul and body and being taxable.

Real joy emanates from passive income streaming into my bank account automatically from doing nothing, other than owning a tiny piece of income-producing cake such as properties, businesses, REITs or stocks. What’s best? Dividends are tax-free.

In 2Q 2026, I receive dividends as follows:

$150.50 SSB (1 Apr)

$152.50 SSB (1 Apr)

$147.50 SSB (1 Apr) SRS

$810.81 DBS (17 Apr)

$648.00 DBS (17 Apr) SRS

$375.00 Ascendas Reit (30 Apr)

$149.50 SSB (4 May)

$397.98 Mapletree Log Trust (23 Jun)

$910.00 Aims Apac Reit (29 Jun) DRP

$261.84 Far East Orchard (29 Jun) DRP 212 shares

My passive income in Q2 2026 is $13,947.14, a 4.78% YoY increase from Q2 2025's $13,310.81.

Together with the $7,539.79 passive income in Q1, my passive income in the first half of 2026 is

$21,486.93

At $3,581/month on average, I am contented to be cruising on lean FIRE as my passive income is able to cover my basic monthly expenditure. 

I look forward to collecting more dividends in the rest of 2026, while staying disciplined on the sidelines, ready to deploy capital when compelling opportunities arise to acquire more income-producing assets and businesses.

My ultimate financial freedom goal by 2030 is to own an investment portfolio yielding at least $60,000 of passive income annually. With passive income projected to surpass $42,000 in 2026, the next milestone is clear: hit $50,000 by 2028 and and I hope to be well on track to get there.

I shall continue to embrace minimalism over consumerism, frugality over lifestyle inflation, and consistency over timing the market by investing steadily through bear and bull markets alike, slowly and surely building up my income-generating portfolio. Ignore the fears, the noise, the distractions. Stay focused. Stay the course.
