About me

Hi there, I’m Bob from Vancouver Canada. Welcome to Tawcan.com, a Canadian personal finance and dividend investing blog that chronicle my quest for financial independence and joyful life. In 2011 my wife and I started dividend investing with the dream of living off dividends in our 40’s. Today our portfolio generates over $2,250 dividend per month which covers >55% of our expenses.

Through this blog, I want to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve financial independence as a single income family with two young kids while living in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
