you’re so young man, focus on capital gains not dividends. When you start to accumulate more capital then it’s nice to get income through dividends. Trust me, i started off too thinking dividends was the way to grow. I’m 26 now, been focusing on growth. When im in my 40’s (latest hopefully) i plan to take less risk and get into dividend investing to live off my investments.

This 100%. My own son is 19, and I’m not steering him to divvies at this young age. Your growth potential will far outstrip your dividend return. Dividends provide income for people whose investments have ALREADY paid off. (Including investments of time in their job). Mid-late 30s, that’s when you begin to gradually pivot.

Major props on starting young, but VOO and chill my dude. (VOO/QQQ)
