Living on dividends is expensive because of all the tax consequences! At least for me!
There are a WIDE range of securities paying dividends: e.g. Master Limited Partnerships, Closed-end Funds, Business Development Corporations, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Yieldmax ETF’s, and decent Dividend Growth stocks like MO, UPS, VZ, PRU, PZE, CWEN, ENB etc. My portfolio of under just over 1 million is yielding 12.15% and producing some $170,000 annually.
Covered Call Funds, MLP ETFS, BDCs, REITS, Utilities, and Telecommunications all offer 5-12% reliable dividends.
I think you forgot YoC…. 100.000 invest Can Turn into 100.000 every year After 30 years. So no 3 Million needed, time is key.
Dividends from SCHD are generally taxed at the qualified dividend rate, often providing a tax advantage over ordinary income rates for many investors. However, current market attention is centered on Nvidia, which has significantly contributed to the S&P 500’s recent earnings growth. Nvidia’s stock, up over 90% year-to-date, gained another 2.5% on Monday in New York, propelling the Nasdaq 100 to a new record high. I’m actively seeking new opportunities to enhance performance within my $350K portfolio and open to strategic ideas.
In recent weeks a significant portion of the stock market returns is being driven by a handful of companies that have come to be known as the “Magnificent 7” (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA) Which of these stocks do you consider the 'healthiest' in terms of profit and risk? I have about $360k ready money to invest for my eventual retirement.
When you get enough in your account buy a house and rent it out. Use that income to help pay off the mortgage on the second rental…which is also bringing in rent from a property management company… no work for you except some phone calls and handshakes and signatures…rn how im looking at it 300k isn't going to bring 2000+ a month reliably in the market….
Living isnt guaranteed either. Your point is what? Missing a lot.
I'm 65 and still working. I've been a dividend investor for about 5 years while I work and have about $2.6m, which generates over $200K each year. I reinvest almost all of it. I will use this income to supplement Social Security and my military pension. All told, I can generate $300K per year in retirement and still have something to leave my son. Done smartly, dividend investing is the way to go.
There's great dividend etfs that yields over 10% consistently easy. Talking ten years plus consistent high dividends.
