Co-workers: I thought that portfolio you keep banging in about was dying on its ……
Me: in times of economic uncertainty and low interest rates, dividends are essential.
Co-workers: whatever, but ok how much did you get?

In January 2020 I received £0.14, in January 2021 it was £3.63, in January 2022 it was £27.06.

Exactly, after a few years it will be significant amount of income, it varies a lot month to month but my best ever month was last september, over £800 in dividends. Will probably be more next year as they all got reinvested in the same companies. That is the value of compounding over several years

I already make more from insurance company dividends than I pay out in insurance premiums each year
