Tawcan is a Canadian personal finance and dividend investing blog that chronicles my quest for financial independence and joyful life.
I started this blog to show it is possible to achieve financial independence as a single-income family with two young kids while living in Vancouver Canada, one of the most expensive cities in the world.
My wife and I started building our dividend portfolio in 2011 after a financial epiphany.
Today, the portfolio generates over $5,400 in dividends per month. We originally dreamed of becoming financially independent and living off dividends by 2025. Although we could live off dividends by supplementing it with a part time income in 2025, we aren't in a rush to cross the so called "finish line." Therefore, we are taking it easy and we plan to realize the dream of living off dividends before 2030.
