Most people think of dividend investing as a slow way to build long-term wealth, but in my experience, I've made more dividend income and have seen more dividend income growth these last four years than I thought possible. In this video, I'll be sharing how much money I made with dividend investing over these last four years, and will also show how my dividend stock portfolio will continue to grow over the coming decades.

I personally use my investments to cover utilities, northern Texas with gas/water/electricity/internet/cellphone its monthly cost is about $800. I get about $1040 monthly dividends, from my job I just need about $300 a week for the rest. Having $600 a week to invest/save plus security of been able to afford to lose your job is something everyone should aim for.

Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now especially for near- retirees, I have been in touch with a coach for a year now mostly becus I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with recurring market conditions netted over $320k in profits so far, it clears the is more to the market that we the AVG don't know that Investment advisor's know.

I think this is a good example as to why investing in ETFs is the best long term option unless the goal is to dabble and not retire early. I spread 90% (JEPI/JEPQ/SCHD) equally in my 🔥 account and 100% of my 401k into ETFs. It isn't as predictable to pick and choose a small number of companies.

[@gioclinaz]

Hey man, great channel, I’ve been following you for few months and now I’m a regular viewer of your channel. I have a question, if your time horizon is 10-20 years down the road, why investing in O or MAIN? Since it’s taxed higher, the dividend growth is lower and the capital appreciation is not as high as other stocks, I’m kind of the same boat since I own O and VICI, but I’ve been thinking to sell them and invest more into stocks like V, COST, or in ETFs like VIG since it has a higher dividend growth rate and bigger stock appreciation, just wanted to know more of your opinion about that

[@rynewilliams]

The returns on O and MAIN compared to other stocks depends on which time frame you're looking at. Both O and MAIN have historically delivered exceptional returns across a long period of time. O's recent performance has caused it to underperform, but otherwise, it's been solid.

[@BGS_Kards]

I'm as green as it gets when getting started . I'm still trying to understand the tax portion if I continue to roll over the profits back into the account.

[@kdjorgensen98]

Started investing around 2010 and started dividend investing last Oct. Got lucky and caught a dip! Dividend investing has gotten way better returns than my regular portfolio, which will probably lead to the firing of my portfolio manager!

Great video! As someone who’s 29 and still always being told to focus on growth, this focus on dividends and div growth is refreshing. You were seejng yourself beat the market some years, but was that total return? What were your thoughts on dividend taxation in your taxable account as the portfolio was growing?

[@rynewilliams]

I showed my total return at about the 9:00 mark in the video!

Saw that, so your total return factors in the taxation as well? How are you calculating that?

My goal is to get to $70k/yr in annual dividends in the next 20 years as that’s what I feel I’d need to cover mortgage and everything else alone adjusted for inflation.

Hey Ryne, question: if you have no plans on using the dividend income to pay bills any time soon and are reinvesting everything anyway, do you ever feel that focus could be shifted a bit towards total return? And when you’re ready to call it quits for good, you bring the focus back to dividends? Might get out of those shackles quicker... To each their own, I know, just throwing it out there.

All things considered rule number 1 is to never lose money, and I really like how resilient your portfolio is!

Since youre actively investing, you didnt earn passive income. Think its pretty misleading calling it passive.

[@rynewilliams]

Sounds like you and I have different definitions of passive income. I consider it to be income earned without working for an employer or job. Passive income doesn't require you to receive money in exchange for a service performed.

I would disagree. I think you can actively invest while earning passive income. You can actively invest in real estate, but earn passive income if you hire property management. If I actively deploy my funds and someone else does the work to earn my returns then that's passive income in my books. Example: I actively invest into a publicly traded company, but do absolutely no work within the company to ensure metrics are hit that generate returns for shareholders.
