Balancing dividend income throughout the year

[daat99]

Personally I don't monitor that very much.
I do plan to use the dividends to fund my living expenses but I intend to transfer the dividends from the trading account to my cash account on a quarterly basis.

Basically this means that I intend to get at least the same amount of dividends in each quarter regardless which month payed it.

I also intend to have at least 6 months of living expenses in my cash account so I should be able to plan ahead of unexpected situations that may evolve.
