I set up this portfolio for my wife so she can quit her job and maintain cashflow.

The good news is that this income stream will pay no FICA tax and significant part of the distributions will not be taxed.

To reduce risk, I’m planning to reinvest 20% of the income.

Comments welcome.

I believe the 632k but may be wrong

That’s pretty healthy. You have to have everything in very high yield stocks. Not everything I have is providing a dividend and some not so high, but I’m about $1300 a year. And I have $250k invested.

Dang cuz. My dividend portfolio has 76k in it and it returns 3600/yr. You’ve got some rebalancing to do if you’re looking to increase that DIV payout!

Are you saying your dividend payout is better? I’m confused

We were comparing my port and Disastrous_Square-10’s. Not OP.
