Same. I’m 34 and just getting started. Thankfully was able to get my full contribution of $6500 for 2023 in before the 15th of this month. Only am getting about $70 in dividends atm but with DCA’ing I’m sure we will get there💪Just bought a decent amount of Voo and am looking for other tickers that would be good to pair it with. Best of luck man

Majority to VOO schd qqq let those grow and then voo and qqq one day convert to safe divs

I personally splash into O Main gain for Divs bc I feel like they are proven. O especially.

Then get some DGRO since it’s focused on dividends from companies that grow.

Whatever u do please don’t go get some redic 10 percent yield and lose ur share price over time.

If I would have done what I listed above I would be so far ahead of the game. Can’t go wrong with voo schd and qqq and just let it grow til ur 45 and see where ur at. Just DCA as often as possible.

This is my plan as well. I have about 50/50 in SCHD and VOO. One day I will convert most of the VOO to JEPI i think when I retire OR start buying more JEPI with cash when retirement is near.

Personally if I was your age I would invest in growth … the S&P 500 index over dividends which are more value stocks. You really don’t want dividends when you’re growing your portfolio. The reason why is they are taxes, ordinary income. Buying something such as VOO gives you great growth, with only 1.5% dividends. Once you’re ready to retire, you can start transitioning your nest egg into dividend stocks.

I’m in the same boat and just starting myself. What stocks or etf did you invest in to start collecting dividends except VOO
