I want a balanced portfolio with growth investments, safe investments, and also focus on dividends to gain up to $20K monthly, my concern is picking the right stocks. How do i go about this?
Kate, these days its easy to live of the dividends, many etfs even index ones can pay 10-14% annually in distributions. If coarse one should blend it with grows funds and like myself i trade options as well in IBKR platform. Days of 4% rule and 60/40 split are sooo outdated. Most of people like myself walked away from miserable usless funds managers and we are able to retire 5,10,15 years earlier then with banks and advisors.
NVDY + MSTY is all you need. Both paying HIGH monthly dividends + slow growth over time.
If you are a retired person move to a cheaper country with your portfolio and you will have enough, Spain or another south european country.
This makes more sense.. I was wondering about other million making videos projecting just earnings, but not the capital needed to put in. I 💯 agree with you! Thank you Ma'am 😊
😊🙏👍
Get over the idea of not cutting into your principal. What are you going to do, die with your principal in tact?
No risk no reward let’s get some money
Yes. Just watching now, although I like the balanced approach, one can get a better return than 3%, plus there can be growth, in share price and dividend. One might not need 3M, but save early and invest, base need off spending.
Thank you very much Kate this is a great learning video for me I appreciate it would you completely stay away from fixed annuities if you didn't have a pension just curious? I've been looking at a SPIA to create retirement income but still have money leftover of course to keep in the market and for safer high yield savings accounts
