I’m sure you would like to receive a passive income of $1,000 per month. Think about what you could do with that extra income. The great news is that you don’t need a TFSA of $1,000,000 to get that: about $100,000 will suffice if you buy dividend stocks yielding around 10%.
The three following stocks have a dividend yield between 8.1% and 14.6%, for an average yield of 12%. By buying an equal amount of each of these stocks in your TFSA, you’ll receive about $1,000 per month tax-free. If you have less than $100,000, you can buy more of the highest yielding stock to reach $1,000.
