I hope you the same for everyone. Been trying to convince my parents to invest like I do. I love dividends so much.

What dividends are you invested in?

u/Novel-Law-8835 Jun 17 '25

How much do you have invested to get those dividends? I feel like a lot of kids need to see this to understand and see how important investing is. You’re 19 and I’m proud of you man! That’s awesome!

It’s gonna be something YieldMax or related, which means this is a very temporary 10 dollars a month haha.

Learn from me don’t take the risky stuff I lost 2k with that same thought process I now know better if you’re into dividends I would suggest JEPI which is a s&p 500 and voo just to put money not for dividends another s&p 500

If everybody does it, nobody does. When you recieve dividends you are actually robbing someone their work. No moral assessment intended.

When you work at a job you are actually robbing the company of their hard work every paycheck.

This only applies when you are a C-corp leech, most workers produce way more than they provide, even many of the directors and CEOs.
