    Some of the most common questions I get from people who want to live off dividends but don’t have millions saved up revolve around what kinds of investments would be most appropriate. Although mainstream news outlets will try and tell you that you’ll need millions to live comfortably off dividends, the truth is, if you’ve been watching my channel for awhile, you’re well aware you can make a lot of money from dividends with less than half a million saved up. The tricky part is that a lot of the investments that allow you to do this don’t receive a lot of attention from more traditional news outlets. Many people who get discouraged once they find out how much they’ll really need to invest to live off dividends from a 1%-yielding investment quit dividend investing altogether. So in this video, I’m gonna briefly go over what I’d consider to be some of the most crucial types of investments an income holder should have in their portfolio to live off dividends. I’m also gonna give some specific suggestions as to what holdings investors should consider for each investment type. Some of these I’ll spend a little more time covering, and some will be more rapid fire.

    I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large cash cushion. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.

      Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

    My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

It’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different stocks and sectors to minimize risk.

    Because of dividends, I first began investing in stocks. It's important, in my opinion, to be able to live off of dividends without selling if you invest and make other income in addition to payouts. It suggests that you may pass that down to your kids and give them a leg up in life. Over the years, I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks; I continue to buy more today and will keep doing so until the price drops even further.

    3:50 The yield may be low but MAIN also pays extra quarterly dividend that is usually larger than their monthly. As of 2024 the dividend is $0.24 pr share and their quarterly is now $0.3 pr share. The extra dividend is not a garantee but have been consitent for years and combining the normal and extra dividend does raise the yield to above 8% which I would say is great considering the alternatives.

I sell covered calls on my growth, dividend stocks such as PEP, MCD, PG, JNJ, IBM, HD etc. however, the mistake those so-called experts make is saying you need more to live off dividends it’s actually the other way around you need more if you’re going to rely on the 4% rule and selling shares to live your lifestyle.

      @SpeakerBuilder Your cashflow from those stocks are doing poorly? You must be kidding? Stock price themselves are cyclical in energy companies; when you buy is important; cashflow from these investments is far more than RIETs. In many of these companies you will have a freeroll option after 8 years or less. Fundamentals are better than any industry in the stock market. You can gain perpetual equity in the Permian basin at 0.60% price to book with zero debt. Upstream, mid stream, downstream arbitrage opportunities abound. You will find that nowhere else. I also invest in RIETs- land and natural resources are the only real assets in existence. I watch this channel also and value his opinion .

      ​@@SpeakerBuilder You're right, but energy and mining investments are not for the "faint-hearted". Some of my most successful (Glencore and Alpha Metallurgical Ressources) and some sub-par investments (VALE as an example) belong to this category. A more stable alternative are Royalties (Gold Sandstorm, Wheaton, ...), Farmöand REITs if you're afraid of hyperrinflation, Mexican and Canadian stocks if you buy into the "deglobalisation" aka "on-shoring" thesis (I like VOLARIS a mexican airline, but there's plenty of infrastructure (Mexico) and mining/energy (Canada), railway and trucking?), ...

    Form K-1s have never bothered me with all my MLPs, but tax year 2023 I got hit with Form K-3s, which is a new requirement where MLPs report foreign tax. Problem is, K-3s don’t come out until June, July or even August. I’ve paid taxes for 45 years, and 2023 was the first time I EVER had to request an extension to file a return, now until later this summer. Just feels strange to have to delay. MLPs definitely are getting more complicated. Still, it’s worth the dividend return.

    I would think that a major benefit of dividend investing is that calculating portfolio size needed is not relevant. We don't care about the value of the portfolio. We care about the sustainable income it pays. As you invest you can gradually see the income rise as you invest more and pull the retirement trigger when it's high enough regardless of the market sentiment.

    • @rogerwheelers4322
      @rogerwheelers4322 Před 12 dny +2

      By calculating how much additional income the contributions produce and estimating how that income rises. the capital value will fluctuate up and down over time so the amount of income new additions give you varies. so capital value being high with a market yielding 2% is no worse for retirement than the same portfolio at a different timepoints where the capital value is half and so the yield is 4%. so long as the yield is sustainable in real terms the capital value being half does not matter. its the same income stream at a different moment of low market sentiment vs high market sentiment.

    Great video! For each and every category, everyone should research the tax consequences and filing requirements (k-1 taxes are a pain, most online tax preparers won't do them and they always come super late in March) whether it's better in a taxable or tax-sheltered account and whether more appropriate for a reg or Roth IRA.
    Secondly, many but not all of these tend to have declining share price. So if you want a steady or some growth, be ultra choosy. Or be ready to hold it for longer as it works through a cycle (if you like to sell gains and reinvest elsewhere) or hold long term.
