I write about Dividend Growth Investing

www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com
My investing strategy is very simple

I invest every month in a portfolio of quality dividend growth stocks

I keep total costs low and turnover low as well

I reinvest dividends in the accumulation phase

Once dividends exceed expenses, I have attained financial freedom

I love the story of Grace Groner, who bought 3 shares of Abbott $ABT in 1935

She then patiently reinvested those dividends for 75 years, and quietly amassed a $7.2 million fortune

Abbott Laboratories $ABT increased quarterly dividend by 6.80% to $0.63/share

This is the 54th consecutive year of dividend growth for this dividend king

Writing publicly about investing has actually stifled my growth as an investor

That's because instead of building from basic concepts, I open myself to ridicule from those who lack basic knowledge.

Hence I go back to basics over and over.

A fascinating story of Nicholas Harvalis, a Greek immigrant who came to the US at the age of 15, and built a decent sized dividend portfolio

By the time of his death, his dividend income exceeded his salary income significantly

Each $1 invested at 10%/year turns to $117 in 50 years

The exponential power of compounding is truly mind-bogling

The opportunity cost of each $1 is staggering as well

I often think about this

This was my thought process when I opened an account for my child:

If I invest $1,000 when my child is born and I generate an annualized return of 10%

They'd have:

$2,593 at the age 10

$6,727 at 20

$17,449 at 30

$45,259 at 40

$117,391 at 50

$304,481 at 60

$789,747 at 70

My retirement plan is simple:

- Live off dividends in retirement

This simple strategy removes the guesswork on how much income I can live off in retirement

It also removes the guesswork on how far along I am on my journey, and when can I call it quits

We've been in a long secular bull market since the market hit its generational lows in 2009

A secular bull market is a long-term uptrend. It could and does incorporate several of your plain vanilla 20% bear or bull markets. But the overall trend is apparent.

One of the biggest misconception about retirement accounts such as 401 (k) is that the money is "locked" until the age of 59 and a half

There are many ways to withdraw money early penalty free :

1. Roth Conversion Ladder
2. Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP)
3. Rule of 55
