The pandemic came along to change everything about our lives. With many people losing their jobs or other income streams due to the direct or indirect impact of lockdown measures necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19, many Canadians have realized the importance of being more cautious with their spending and creating additional revenue streams.
Household savings rates have improved due to lower discretionary spending, but setting aside cash is not enough. Investing your money in income-generating assets that can grow your wealth through shareholder returns in the form of dividends and capital gains is the best way to make use of your savings to earn more money.
Knowing how to find high-quality and undervalued stocks that pay shareholder dividends can provide your portfolio with the one-two punch of generous dividends and long-term capital gains to grow your wealth.
