This Is When Your Dividend Snowball REALLY Takes Off 🚀

[@rynewilliams]

How much dividend income are you currently bringing in, and how long have you been investing for? Let me know in the comments below! 👇

[@AverageJoeDividends]

My average monthly income for my dividend growth portfolio is ~$790/month. I started the portfolio MAR-20.

I'm just under 2 years in and I'm looking at £1850 a year for the upcoming year. It's so nice when you start to see that yield on cost move upwards. Ryan has good judgement. I have a good portion of the same stocks in my portfolio.

[@simonclaes8415]

Oh man, you are around the right time for investing. Word of the wise, don't worry about any recession or market crash. Time is on your side and look into value investing. You will find nice stocks with good dividend that are undervalued.

[@marshabonforte6963]

I’ve been doing this for three years only, and I’m really starting to see it. With about 28k invested in dividend paying stocks, I get on average $150 per month, which all gets reinvested in more stocks. Every month is a little bit bigger than the last. The most important lesson I’ve learned is to Think Long Term. Also, try to buy Quality Businesses.

[@rynewilliams]

Absolutely, sounds like you've made some great progress in those three years. Great job!

[@hennesseyviper]

Yeah and remember as well that someone like me only makes that per year! Can't wait to catch up to you!

[@Pr3lude9]

It seems 28k would be a sweet spot at the moment, where your dividend payment, can buy a full extra share of most companies. Each month, gaining an extra share will grow quickly. I’m so far behind but I’m trying lol. Congrats on your journey!

[@minorleagueroadtrip6224]

My dividends went up 10 folds in a year with help from dividends. I started with a mix of growth and dividend stocks. But as the market got worse, I tended to get more dividend stocks than growth ones. Even if my portfolio went down, I still received dividends and re-invested all. From $10 in Dec '21 to $110 in Dec '22 ytd is cool to see.

[@rynewilliams]

Man that's so awesome! Keep up the great work, but this time next year you'll easily be at over 200 in income

[@sachinnediyanchath8828]

@rynewilliams At this rate, that is definitely doable. If I had not invested in AT&T (T) to get "free" WBD shares, my dividends would have been way less. It is all compound interest as you said in video. It was just cool to see this in video form. Cheers!

[@FootballCardOlly]

Great video. When I 1st started I deposited like $25/week (November 2019) I had $8,000 credit card debt and $5,000 camper loan debt. Originally Robinhood had whole shares only. So I bought several monthly paying stocks. (Horrible idea and beginner mistake) but it did help see the "wow I made $2 this month and continue to grow every month". Paid off credit card debt and camper loan as fast as possible and then started buying way more stock with the extra cash. In December I hit $250 in dividends and adding $250 back can buy like 4 shares or KO or whatever. So that's a great feeling.

[@rynewilliams]

Man that's so awesome. $250 in a month for doing absolutely nothing feels so cool. And I bet by this time next year you'll be at $350 or maybe even $400

[@FootballCardOlly]

@@rynewilliams it really does feel good. It's in a taxable Robinhood account and I just opened a Roth IRA account. So I'm going to pretty much max the Roth IRA 1st and then move over to the taxable account and add more. But it is still awesome to be able to buy a few shares from dividends, in the taxable, while I max out the Roth.

I started investing in 2008, in 2018 i started a spreadsheet to keep track of my monthly dividend income. In Jan 2018 i earned 516 dollars in dividends. December 2022 that number was 1,157 dollars. I would recommend keeping a spreadsheet it is very motivating punching those numbers in and watching your income stream grow. By my projections i will be able to retire within the next 15 years, my goal is to be retired by 50. I hope any young person reading this is wise with their money and starts investing early, financial independence is achievable if you make wise decisions with your finances.

Creating my spreadsheet was a game changer. It’s taken me about a year to fine tune it into it’s current version, but at this point, it’s phenomenal.

I wish that I would have had this knowledge when I was much younger.

I'm 60 now and on average receive over $9500 a month in dividends...I don't need the money right now, so I'm still reinvesting it. Anyway, what you are telling your viewers absolutely works and can generate considerable money if you are persistent (stay the course) and start early enough. Good job and keep turning out the videos...people need to hear this!!

@@rynewilliams My yield too high for my liking, it screams RISK... I was dwelling on that today. I'm heavily weighted in REITs, which accounts for the super high yield. At this point, I'm aggressively diversifying into more stable, lower yield companies/index funds, etc. When the market rebounds I anticipate my yield to go way down, but that will be offset by the gain in share price. For the time being, it's awesome being able to get free shares every month/quarter. I completely connected with what you were saying when you expressed things in those terms. Getting free shares that will then pay you a dividend is the holy grail. My strategy has worked so far. It's not glamorous, it's a grind. Several of my work friends invest like crazy as well and they kind of chortled at me when I talked about my strategy to build a primarily dividend-based portfolio. This past week on a conference call several of them were lamenting money they've lost over the past year on Tesla, Intel, etc. I'm still up overall and have the steady drip drip drip of dividends to look forward to. I have a far amount of disposable income so I'm trying to put it to work for me instead of squandering it. We'll see how it goes....

[@MegasXaos]

Spot on! I consider my investment "self-sustaining" when it can buy 1 share per month (3 per quarter) on DRIP. The snowball for some stocks can happen with as little as 100 or 200 dollars which can be great for new investors to see the snowball right away! (higher risk of course, however for a 100~200 dollar risk you can learn a lot and not risk everything) Soon you're buying 1.5 shares a month, then 2, then more and more! But it takes time to research the company/industry to make an educated decision. While I am building a position up to the self-sustaining point, I research future companies that I may wish to take a position in. If I don't find one, I redo one of my favorites (pretend I have 0 stocks per month and rebuild to 1), which gives me more time. Happy futures to you all. Hope you find a strategy that works for you

I’m just starting this but with a variation. I am compiling a list, sourcing and studying dividend stocks and creating a list to HOPEFULY occupy every single weekday with a payout from a stock. Then I am compiling all the ex-div days of the stocks. Stacking it next to the payout day list and pushed the ex-div list up 3 slots on the sheet. My INTENTION is to get paid every week day and then take that payout and then invest in the stock that will ex-div in three days or less. Instead of having to wait a month to 3 months for my stocks to come back around to realize the gain, each stock will increase the next stock, “turbocharging” the snowball hopefully.

I’ve acknowledged this too. Back in 2018 I was making about 32k a year gross. Today I make 10k in annual dividends. However, on a good year I saved at best 5k on that 32k income. I got a lot better job making 100k now, however my effective earning power is still increased by my 10k annual dividends, or 10% (so 110k total gross cashflow). I have a high net savings rate at 50% of gross income, so 50k a year. Increased by another 20% with 10k in dividends to 60k.granted nothing is linear and your comment had me going through this similar thought exercise you have in your post. I don’t see how anyone could dispute the power of dividends. I reflect on what I had to do to earn that 32k income as a mover back in 2018 (making $15.00 hr) and cringe.

I do think it’s worth saying for those less familiar with financial analysis - a high dividend yield is not necessarily a good thing at all - it doesn’t reflect the performance of a company and often times is a product of falling share price due to issues with the company

i would never invest in something like ORCC, the earnings per share is less than the dividend pay out. it means they are losing money when they pay out, and its unsustainable, the stock price will continue to fall, and at some point the dividend will be reduced. some companies do this for years, until they are in debt, insolvent, and just go under, and you have 0 shares, and if all you did was reinvest those dividends in to the same junk stock, you lost all the money you put in, and didn't gain any dividends.

Congrats on the current state of your investments, and I really look forward to seeing this channel grow.

Not going strictly for passive income right now but growth using betterment, but still the dividends growing each year is exciting. It won't be as high as a dividend focused portfolio. Happy that I am close to $300 a year now when last year I was barely over $100 for the year.

[@rynewilliams]

That's very solid progress my friend, keep it up!

[@HighwayToFreedom-hj6xk]

All that is true! For first year the passive income streams surpassed my recurring bills. It is definitely motivating once the ball starts rolling

That's so awesome!

Hey I would love your opinion on ford as a dividend stock and you talk about mpw but it’s not on your sheet

[@rynewilliams]

I think Ford is a great company but I don't like the stock. And that is correct about MPW - I talk about it in videos, but I do not personally own any shares. That is true for a lot of different stocks out there

Also I use Robinhood but would you recommend switching to m1

Dollar cost averaging everytime I have extra cash laying around. Better to have it working for itself than sitting and losing value against inflation and all time low bank rates or on stupid things I want but don't need to impress people who could care less.

Hi, I'm just getting started but don't know a ton about etf my first 4 positions are Pepsi, Starbucks, Mcdonalds and J and J. I really appreciate the video but that high yield for Jepi seems like a yield trap but like I stated I dont know a ton about etf..do they operate differently than an individual stock as far as yield traps

[@rynewilliams]

Sounds like you own some awesome stocks. And as a beginner, I'd stay away from JEPI. It's not necessarily a yield trap I don't think, but it's definitely a complicated ETF to own

[@captnawty7966]

Hey Ryne, love this video but I have a couple questions. Between 2021 and 2022 what was your monthly contribution that you were putting into your investments? Roughly, what number of stocks do you need where the "Snowball" starts to roll own its own? Would it be enough where the dividend is enough to buy a full share? Dividend reinvestment is the key to amazing growth. I love looking at the FREE funds or dividends I get each month. Thanks again Ryne

[@rynewilliams]

In 2021 and 2022 I was investing between $200-$250/week. And yea I think things start to get really interesting when your reinvested dividends are able to buy whole shares!

[@captnawty7966]

@@rynewilliams Thanks for responding. I feel that your channel is more about friends sharing investing ideas. I am at the same spot you were at in 2021 and 2022. I currently invest $250/week. Love watching your videos on investment ideas plus what your subscribers are saying about their investment journey.

[@beaverundercover3479]

What's the yield for dividend big enough to buy whole shares?

[@rynewilliams]

It’s not so much a matter of yield. When your dividend payments exceed the current price of a share of stock, that’s when the dividend is big enough to buy whole shares

I'm getting my bachelor's degree from SNHU for FREE. My employer is paying for all the tuition while I only work Fri-Sun. It's definitely a good investment. I slowed down my investing (no overtime, in exchange for going back to school) The online classes aren't as bad as I thought. I'll be working with my sister as an accountant by next April 👍 Then ill be set for life

[@rynewilliams]

Man that's good to know! What are you getting your degree in? Accounting?

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

@Ryne Williams So they only offer the Business degree, but u can choose the Accounting branch to go with it and that gives you all the classes you need to start doing Accounting internships.

[@rynewilliams]

Oh man that’s awesome. How much longer until you get your degree?

[@dividendapacolypse6060]

@Ryne Williams started literally this month (Jan 2nd), and I'll be done by next April. 16 months total. The way they set up the classes, you knock out 12 classes per year. Faster than regular college (8 per year, not including summer classes).

I started in 2021, and I'm almost at $100/month AUD

[@jasonhouchins1230]

I have a stake in BSTZ that almost is large enough to bring in another share each month. SVOL Is currently giving me Two shares a month. That one is almost reached the dividend avalanche. Also roughly 224 shares of RYLD. Depending on the Dividend that month in may bring in two shares. Over 600 ARR are currently off DRIP being used to purchase little Royalty stocks to combat taxes. Otherwise that one would be pulling in around 8 shares a month. The new acquisitions are just being built up. IFN, and UTG are currently being built up for self-sufficiency. Long way to go there.

[@NebiNBN]

It s worth to invest 1000 $ in dividends growth stocks and then 100$ monthly?

Getting close to the 1k per month in dividend income. The snowball is awesome to watch.

[@Metal_Stacking]

@rynewilliams be careful and consistently invest. You will get there.

[@jarrodhockley]

To be fair, its not called a Dividend Snowball, unless you have at least the minimum average of shares that nets you a new share or more per dividend payout.... as you are not in the compounding cycle until then...

[@rynewilliams]

Is that so? Can you please direct me to the definition of dividend snowball where it explicitly states that?

[@UltraRunner26]

Sorry I missed happy hour this week, this was a great video though. Thanks for your hard work.

No need to apologize at all man, hope you're having a great weekend! Appreciate you tuning in

[@vutran8706]

You will see the snow ball effect when your monthly dividend reach $100 a month or $1200 a year. With $100 monthly, you can buy at least 2 different shares (stock, etf) average cost around $50

[@rynewilliams]

Very true...$100/month is a really cool milestone, and can come quicker than many people realize

Haha honestly I could see that being an extremely relieving feeling

[@michaeltewes7833]

What happens when your stock quits paying dividends,or the stock price goes down 50+%

[@rynewilliams]

If it quits paying dividends, then you'll need to assess why that happened and whether or not you still want to own the stock. The same can be said when a stock goes down 50%. Although, when a stock declines in share price, the dividend yield goes up

[@ShinoB83]

Started a roth with 500. Adding 100wk and buying 1 share of schd every Monday morning. What'd be good to buy into at the end of the month with what's leftover? Got retirement with job, so started this and want a decent little chunk come 59 1/2 to do whatever with or keep it rolling. I'm 46 now so 14yrs bare minimum time invested. Just curious as to what's out there.

[@rynewilliams]

Honestly I’m not sure what else would be good to buy with what’s leftover. I would say just to put it all into SCHD, unless there are any other stocks you have your eye on

[@sirshark1092]

I was thinking maybe another growth stock or something like that. Grandma always said "don't put all your eggs in one basket" I don't maybe something like jepq or jepi. New to this on and just looking to build a strong might as well say 15yr investment.
