The taxable sub-total comes to a respectable $45.37.  Retirement accounts, however, pulled in $176.64.  That brings the grand total to $222.01.  A solid number, no doubt, but it's actually down quite a bit from last year.  The T Rowe Price value fund dipped quite a bit this year.  It's a bit sad, especially after a year of further contributions, but it is what it is.  Like I said, it's hard to complain about the current number.  It just means that I need to bolster the other positions to make up the difference.

Interest clocked in at $7.13

 

Not a bad month on the buying front.  There were two rounds on Robinhood, but over on E-Trade, I made single share buys of Realty Income (O), Main Street Capital (MAIN), Gold Share Hedged Bond ETF (GLDB), and WisdomTree (DON).  These are all monthly payers.  Some of these I already had in my Robinhood account, but the gold ETF is a new one.  I'm still continuing building up my IAU position, but this pays, so it seemed to be worth an add.  Hopefully, bolstering these will help pick up the slack after a largely dormant 2023.  

What will 2024 bring?  Who's to say?
