My favorite thing about dividend growth investing?
You don't have to invest $2M to live off dividends.
Or even $1M.
Or even 500k.
And in a lot of cases-
Less than 300k.
How is this?
This is completely due to the compounding effect that takes place when you invest into companies that increase their dividend payouts yearly and reinvest dividends.
In the scenario in the picture below, I'm assuming:
$1,000 monthly contributions
7% price growth rate
8% dividend growth rate
3.5% dividend yield
And get this-
In this scenario, you could live off dividends by only contributing $317,000.
Keep in mind, the dividend ETF $SCHD over the past decade had a price growth rate of about 11% and a dividend growth rate of around 12%.
So it's completely possible to live off dividend with even less than $317,000 in contributions.
The compounding effect is real.
And when you buy stocks that allow the compounding effect to take place-
The dividends REALLY start rolling in.
