This is the Lowest Amount You Need to Live Off of Dividends

When it comes to truly living off of passive income, in my opinion there’s no better option than being able to live off of dividends. While it’s true that there’s other different types of passive income, such as owning real estate properties, selling your own book or starting a blog, there’s really nothing out there that requires so little work to maintain than being able to live off of the dividend distributions of your investments.
With dividend investing, you automatically receive dividends directly into your brokerage or bank account every single month or quarter. It’s the absolute easiest way to earn a living without having to raise a finger, with the exception of checking your portfolio maybe once every couple months. Even if you couldn’t fully rely on dividends for a living, that extra money you receive could be the difference between working a job you hate and switching careers to a job you enjoy. Or it could be the difference between working full time and working part time and spending the rest of your time with family or friends doing whatever you wanna do.
In todays video we’re gonna take a look at several different types of investments and figure out how much money we really need in order to live off of dividends. For this example, we’re going to assume that you want to live off of $4,000 a month. Which may or may not actually be quite a lot depending on your life circumstances.

The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.

Avoid too-good-to-be-true scam schemes. Seek advice from a fiduciary counselor they provide personalized advice to individuals based on their risk appetite, placing them among the best of the best. There are bad ones, but some with good track records can be very good

I agree. Based on firsthand encounter with a fiduciary counselor Deborah Jean Dykstra, i have $385k in a well diversified portfolio which has grown by 3x with compounding, venturing doesn’t necessarily boil down to money but you also have to be informed, be patient and back it up with good hands

Dividends are a great thing, but they’re only really effective for passive income when you either have somewheres over 20 to 25 thousand shares of a high yielding stock. Meaning you likely need to have a few hundred thousand if not more invested in it. Re-investing dividends back into the same stock certainly does snowball with compound interest, but you only really start seeing it after 20 years of never stopping and likely needing to add additional money of your own with it….so it’ll be time consuming and costly. The way I see it if you have a million dollars at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50 to 70 thousand in dividend income

[@edward.abraham]

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. There’s only one reason, and it is a place to park your capital to pay you a small return with large established businesses because you aren’t trying to grow your portfolio anymore, but to live off of it. It’s not much different from bond investing.

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.

[@KevinClarke9]

Calculating the portfolio size needed is very relevant. - How else do you know how much to contribute?

[@LukeMcfarlane5]

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.

That's right. Diversification is also important. If you're living in an area/country where real estate is gaining value over time, more or less following inflation, you can get a mix between rent income and value increase, whereas REIT hardly gain value over time so you need to make sure it beats inflation by a good margin to secure long term benefits.

It depends on the volatility of the stocks. Writing put options on stocks you want to hold is also a good plan. Tesla for instance has weeklies covered calls or naked puts with premiums around 1% of the net value per week.

So let's say you hit $1M, that's 40k/yr. 2M=80k 5M=200k 10M=400k. In order to find out MONTHLY amount just (x 300). Each 1,000 bucks/mo.=$300 k needed.

Until very recently his full time job was about 10 dollars per hour, and I don't think his wife works.

Maybe I'm crazy but, I've never seen people with lots of money being any happier than others. I do think some people with lots of money know how to deal with it, but I don't think I'm one that would do a good job. I think some people would hurt themselves with too much money, and I think I might give too much and hurt certain people. That wouldn't feel good for me. I appreciate rich people that provide work for others, they're a gift to others, and that takes a special kind. Tight lines and straight shootin' folks.

Love your channel man. I started investing in March of this year. I’ve put in $12,000 to date. My portfolio is 100% dividend stocks and growth ETFs ~ in August I made $58 in dividends. My portfolio appreciation is $1,300 just since March. I really wish I had discovered and started investing when I was younger ~ I’m 37 now. My largest holdings are QYLD, O, ARCC, VOO, QQQ, SPHD and RYLD. I dipped into USOI but sold my position for a stupid low profit of $25 because I feel it’s a sinking fund ~ meaning all gains from the dividends are lost long term because the growth is negative.

Better late than never buddy. Just keep at it even $50 a month or even just $500 a year investment. It'd be better than nothing additional.

The problem with covered calls is, you're giving up stock price appreciation for that yield. I'm not bashing on it. It's a valid strategy. It just seems way better than what it actually is to someone who doesn't understand the opportunity cost of the strategy. I've been there and missed out on some big gains.

[@markbaker3238]

No. the problem with covered calls is hanging on to a loser while you are waiting for the option to expire. Sure you made $.15 per share, but the stock is down $3.00...

[@AoCabo]

@@markbaker3238 Yes, that's a possible issue as well if you're selling covered calls and ultimately want to get rid of the underlying stock position. With my comment, I had in mind one of my past experiences where I sold covered calls on a stock that I'm bullish on (as a means to reduce my average cost). The stock kept going up significantly, and I ended up needing to buy the position back. Actually, your example of the risk is more relevant with the strategy being discussed here in the video. Now that I think about it, my situation's different.

I know someone who started investing at 37. He sacrificed a lot to invest but he was able to retire at 52. Now living a very simple life and happy. Investing does work but you have to learn the game and play

im 22 and going to be investing in dividends this year. im hoping that by the time im 40 i'll have enough money coming in from dividends that i can do whatever i want in life and be content. so glad i found this vid though cause i didn't know about those newer etf stocks and was going to dump a decent amount into altria cause of it's high yield. definitely just threw more players into my field. thank you!

[@mikelessard7492]

I suggest u buy as many shares of jepq,jepi,svol & qqq as u can....they are all safe etfs (conglomerate of many successful companies) they pay the best monthly dividends with growth....if u want to have a bit of fun some riskier stocks are zim,pbr,sblk...thank me later 😉

Inflation is real. A dollar earned in 1920 has lost 95% of it's value. So you can't exactly live off dividends and hope it'll be enough in 40 years. You need to reinvest some of the dividends just to increase your dividend yield next year.

[@Ragnar6000]

Dividends grow over time...and can out pace inflation!

[@SC-dr4wk]

I started at 19, Now I earn 20 dollars every month in dividends, except the shares that pay quarterly. My investment is relatively small. But I have been consistent since last year and now I invest consistently. Planning to take my total investment value of portfolio to 300000 in next 3 to 4 years. Thanks for making this video.

[@johnd4348]

That alwsome. Reinvest those dividends back into the investments with automatic rollover. and buy more shares. Companies reinvest dividends for a few pennies per share in DRIP accounts. At one time I was making around 20 thousand a year in dividends . It was almost more than I was making at my job.

I agree. Investing without an education and research will ultimately lead to regrettable investment decisions. Take note that research is more than just listening to unpopular opinion.

You can have this conversation with out addressing the real inflation rate, and I don’t mean CPI. If you’re making 2.5% on dividends per year and your inflation rate is 4-10%, what do you think is going to happen?

[@DominiqueGodefroy]

Since nobody control inflation and you are guaranteed a return with dividend and not necessarily with stock. You better off to have a large dividend allocation and diversified the rest across all asset classes. Simple and effective.

[@sb_dunk]

That's not going to be the long term price inflation rate. 2-3% will be the likely long term average.

@@sb_dunk nope inflation is here to stay, 6-9% is a norm now.

@@rhythmandacoustics Well, the 5y5y forward inflation rate is 2.26%, so the market thinks you're wrong. I don't really understand B. Totty's comment about the "real inflation rate, and I don't mean CPI". What is a better inflation measurement? B. Totty's weekly shopping price index?
