From $0 to $800K: My Dividend Investing Journey Since 2015!

[@GabrielS521]

Talk about dividends on KZbin, get paid, buy dividends, get paid, repeat.

[@AndreiJikh]

The secret formula

[@adventuresofken4411]

You could also be an architect, engineer, doc, lawyer, programmer, cafe owner, E-commerce, ect.. save & invest 30% if your income and retire at 35👍

[@gregorygroblewski5641]

At least he admits it unlike his counterpart graham haha

[@jcantrell42]

The content is good. I'll give a like and follow.

fully retired and living off of my dividends. I started investing 15 years ago, No regrets and financially free. Life is good while helping the less fortunate

[@jaidenSalinas]

@sammyphon Trying to build wealth and diversify assets. I tend to have less than 10% each check available to save because I’m always investing. It’s a dynamic that needs balance

[@Edgardo477]

Can't wait to get where you are at. I put 10% in my 401K/Roth when I get paid, which I don't really watch. Then I put $400/paycheck in a dividend portfolio

[@rickyspanish24]

@@Edgardo477I do the same thing. But I keep my dividends in my Roth IRA so they can grow tax free.

[@jayv9315]

You should bring back your monthly dividend update videos! I haven’t seen those in a while and I really do enjoy watching them!

[@AndreiJikh]

Will do! I try to do them once a month but I guess I should do them more often

[@nothingtoseehere1097]

All he does is auto buys VTI now. Would be a short video

[@light0000]

I like once a month imo

[@HUNGQBIEN]

I recommend monthly dividends such as JEPI AND JEPQ and divo they are good ETF too@@AndreiJikh

[@ansheg]

You deserve every penny you earned, Andrei. And we sincerely hope you stay the same humble guy when you share with us your 9-digit portfolio in near future.

[@AndreiJikh]

Haha 9 DIGITS?? That would be insane, I appreciate your kind words, truly, thank you

[@AMVLifez]

​@@AndreiJikh9 digits might be insane even though I think now you can do whatever you want. It's all about saving more then you make and not overexcagerating lifestyle. You will not see this guy at a 2000 dollar restaurant if you know what I mean😂

[@tejagundala1826]

My favorite part of this video is how self aware Andrei is

[@VadimCanniff]

Amazing great job. You’re my favorite financial channel

[@AndreiJikh]

Yay thank you!

[@AlexofCharmCity]

What a great and honest message, excellent presentation and points about the "its just a scam" part.

[@blakegeisler6109]

These are my favorite videos of yours. Thanks for being an amazing, knowledgeable, and fun creator! You're changing lives with this information, so thank you

[@AndreiJikh]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate the kind words

[@elizabeths.3634]

Your strategy is similar to mine except of course you have way more money to invest. Great video as always. You have always been one of my favorite KZbinrs.

[@AndreiJikh]

appreciate it! It took me a long time to get to this point. I remember seeing $300k portfolios and thinking I'd never get there. You will, stay consistent!

[@Dividend_Info]

2:55 That's why I love dividends investing. You buy them once and that it

[@joshuamaltez4704]

I love your vids Andrei. I remember right at the big finance craze we had crazy content and a lot of people watching and commenting like crazy & now it feels it had settled, but the content is still entertaining. I hope we get another fun finance run again like before and blow up the channel ✊

[@AndreiJikh]

Appreciate it! For sure, finance is cyclical. It's exciting one year, and not so much the next. I have more fun in a down market, there's less pressure for me to keep up the momentum

[@joshuamaltez4704]

@@AndreiJikh I agree. Thank you so much through it all!

[@mytruthbekind5793]

I work in the industry and I think Andrei is great. I always learn something or something is reinforced. There is a lot to learn in this field.

[@Sanjuro313]

Am interested in your Yield on cost accumulated through these years. Also you forgot to mention the importanace of payout ratios and dividend growth.

[@briansmith3989]

One advantage of a dividend portfolio vs VOO is in retirement you may be able to live off the dividends instead of selling shares

[@AndreiJikh]

Yep, which is way easier to plan for retirement because you can easily compare that against expenses

[@arigutman]

Awesome, Andrei... I have been on this journey with you since you started your YT channel... Heck in that time I even started my own to show other dividend investors how simple dividend investing really is... kudos on the wins - all around!

[@AndreiJikh]

Appreciate it! Thanks for sticking around, it's been a while!

[@Roadtobitcion]

You always made learning about finances fun been following since 2019 and I always do my research of things you mentioned

[@AndreiJikh]

thank you!!

[@EdwinBoettcher]

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.

[@AndreiJikh]

That's so cool, congrats! It's definitely a lot easier to plan for the future when you can predict your cash flow

[@johnstewartjr4119]

I appreciate how much research you put into these videos. You do a great job, Andrei.

[@AndreiJikh]

I appreciate that!

[@boomn216]

So basically Warren's advice was right. The slow and steady wins the race.

[@jacobj_lars]

No because everyone does that. There’s a reason why he’s the richest investor and we aren’t.

[@Rhamz7]

Andrei, you are my most favourite guy on YT. Thanks for all you do and your knowledge. I have been advocating your videos to my students.

[@AndreiJikh]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate that :D

[@Lukekassidy]

Been here since the beginning and you’re the only creator that I can consistently show to my wife without her getting bored 😂 You’re the real OG! Thanks for all you do mate!

[@ManojKumar-qe5dd]

Great video Andrei. Thank you for the transparency. Great and honest message ! Curious to know, what tool do you use to forecast the dividend income in the future ?

[@likeobvs]

I got into dividend investing back in 2020 after watching your vids. Like an idiot I sold everything a year and a half later. Time to get back in the game and hold for retirement!

[@AndreiJikh]

You know what they say: it's all about time in the market, not timing the market

[@Collen_Mnguni]

Like it when you share your investing opinions 🔥🔥amazing video

[@BenHaskellFF]

andrei, i watch a lot of your videos dont comment as much as a i should but just want to let you know youre extremely gifted at explaining these concepts simply enough that a child could understand and your philosophical perspective is super cool too. thank you for giving away this free knowledge to the world you are a hero

[@ANTHONY1983--]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I'm 4 months into my investing journey. Started abit late at 39 years old lol.

[@TCTALKSTCFITNESS]

Better to start then not start at all

[@KingP9977]

You are not late. Half the people wont even start. Just keep going. Thats my mantra as well.

[@brennanbrock2351]

This is the earliest I’ve been to one of your videos😬 been watching since 2020💯

[@AndreiJikh]

Bam! Welcome welcome!

[@darrendent8288]

@7:44 Not 100% true. Companies actually get bought out by larger companies and get taken off the exchange. A recent example of this is Microsoft buying out Activision. Activision is no longer in the SP500 and is now being replaced by Lululemon.

[@levelup2252]

Love the video (like all the others btw). We need a such inspiring journey!

[@AndreiJikh]

Thank you!

[@khana683]

Hi Andrei, I just wanted to say I enjoy watching your videos and love how clear you deliver your message.

[@JTstuff1]

I watched all of your Dividend videos again just last week and was hoping you'll give an update. Amazing how you can read minds

[@AndreiJikh]

Sometimes I can read minds, you're welcome haha :P

[@janetrobinson8925]

I really enjoyed your story! I like the way you explain the material!

[@slav_o]

I actually really liked that video. I stopped watching you at some point when you were trying to be too funny and talking too much about crypto (which I am also invested in). But as of lately have been enjoying your videos again and find them useful.

[@HanzShaoPing]

Part of the fun of investing is trying to beat the S&P 500 returns.

[@AndreiJikh]

That's true, I feel like investing should be boring though

[@BossMan_Jerm]

I remember when you had like 100k subs… havnt watched in a while, happy to see you with so much success!

[@AndreiJikh]

Aww I appreciate that!

[@Feltsy]

Congrats on getting married dude. Didn’t even realize that.

[@AndreiJikh]

Haven't got married yet! Thanks though! :X

[@simonfredette99]

im surprised the yields are that low, im at about 225k ( Canadian ) and my div portfolio of banks, utilities, reits etc already generated over 14k, about 6-7% average yield. At 800k I hope to have it generate over 50k a year

[@AndreiJikh]

6-7% is something I see myself at when I'm older, but I tend to like 2-4% in hopes that it would grow over time

[@timibald7376]

Shouldnt it be the opposite? "higher" risk when you are young and lower risk when you are old? Sorry but it does not make any sense to do a DIV portfolio that is making less ROI than interest rates at your bank...@@AndreiJikh

[@DavidAlmaguer]

What app or site did you use to see how long Onhas paid dividends and been uninterrupted ? That would be super helpful

[@hunterhemingway]

7:44 Andrei, that’s the music right there mate ✊🏼 such good deep focus soundtrack, love that song, thought my Spotify was playing. Appreciate you & your content for the last couple years. Keep being you 🙏🏼 ya scam

[@SwayzeDaGhost]

Amazing video. Why did you start with Robinhood in 2015 as your dividend brokerage? Why not Vanguard of Fidelity?

[@inbm2102]

This felt more like an ad

[@ron2040]

If you didn't reinvest the dividend back, how does the broker knows that you are keeping or putting them back for investments?

[@kinesthe12]

@andreijikh your thoughts on the yieldmax funds? specifically TSLY?

[@light0000]

😂 bro I asked the same before scrolling through comments to see you asked already

[@RubenVYT]

Which platform are you using for those dividind stats from minute 8:30 and further? Also moomoo but white version or something else?

[@llljb.l]

robinhood

[@Merlinke91]

So why dont we just invest in an ETF which follows the S&P 500?

[@AndreiJikh]

That's what I do :) I do both dividends and S&P

[@chrismoore5755]

The dividend vids are my favorite by far! Thank you

[@AndreiJikh]

Glad you like them!

[@ivanvazquez5583]

Definitely the video I've been looking for a while now. Thanks!

[@rujohnso]

I really appreciate this type of content from you, sir. Don’t overlook your wise knowledge in favor of trendy speculation.

[@AndreiJikh]

Trendy speculation is the name of the youtube game, unfortunately we all have to play to keep up

[@Rational_Investor]

I am not sure if anyone else has mentioned this within the comments, but with REITs, the "dividend yield" may not be just dividends. It's more accurate to say "distributions," because some of the return may be "return of capital," which will be taxed differently than dividends.

[@AndreiJikh]

Yep, it's in the video, REITs are taxed as ordinary income, but I'll refer to them as distributions in the future if it's clearer

[@SamLeporeGroup]

Andrei- What happened to Alex Pandrea? He was also one of my favorite KZbin channels for finance.

[@alices.4717]

Great morale lesson at the end, it's all personal choice in the end !

[@AndreiJikh]

Exactly!

[@ZexaxNone]

Excellent video Andrei Jikh! May I ask you a question, do you write scripts or only bullet points? Thanks for your hard work, you deserve every cent in your account :)

[@AndreiJikh]

I write scripts, which is why it takes me like 3 hours to film my videos LOL. I wish I was more like a Meet Kevin type but I'm not that talented

[@ZexaxNone]

@@AndreiJikh Wow, and you stay humble on top of that. Take care my friend, we'll meet one day, I'm pretty sure

Look to how much commercial real estate is in the REIT. Diverified holdings and low commercial real estate exposure in 2024 might be good.

For sure, you need to start with a skillset

[@cruisingwithjohn]

​@@AndreiJikhabsolutely and nerve.

[@julianoriella8309]

Very nice video. The last few minutes were super interesting. Could you make a video about comparing Real State, dividends, crypto, maybe? as an early investor, there is so much info, its overwhelming, people trying to convince that real state makes millionaire in just few years, but we don't have the time due to 9-5 jobs. Then dividends sounds great, but exactly as you said, if you compare to investing in Meta, Tesla, etc, you might be missing alot. Should we invest in QQQ, in the early days and move to dividend/more stable investment when we are older? So hard to figure this all out hehe

“Life is a scam” 😂 Loved it Andrei!
