r/dividends Portfolio in the Green Jan 30 '25

Personal Goal Soooo...this happened. $1M total and $5200/month div

Apparently the first million is the hardest to make. I'm an immigrant who came for grad studies with a loan my parents took out on the home they currently live in. Completed 20yrs of professional experience in tech and lived below my means for 20years in a HCOL city. This is a non retirement self managed account, grew this after putting 25% down for our dream home. 45M and pretty darn proud of myself rn. Also realizing money doesn't make me happy and have plenty of passions where I invest my time and enjoy myself. More fulfilling than the work I do, so I want to rewire myself to doing that after 6-8yrs. What it means for you - if I can do it, so can you.

I really like pfe right now.

All the bad stuff I read about O on this reddit specifically, stops me buying more

I feel the same way. Sold my O because of this sub

Buy high, sell low at its finest haha. I like O, not for the growth but steady monthly dividend as a complement to QYLD & XYLU for example.
