Tawcan is a Canadian personal finance and dividend investing blog that chronicles my quest for financial independence and joyful life.

My wife and I started building our dividend portfolio in 2011 after a financial epiphany.
Today, the portfolio generates over $6,000 in dividends per month. We originally dreamed of becoming financially independent and living off dividends by 2025.

Therefore, we are taking it easy and we plan to realize the dream of living off dividends before 2030.
