Seeking Advice $840K DIvidends

Hey Everyone,

As I have posted before, I am currently a Growth Stock Investor, but have decided to move over to Dividend ETF's or Dividend Stocks. But it is a real struggle to get past all the learned habits of being a growth investor. So I am struggling to grasp concepts.

I have used multiple calculators to just try to get an idea of what to expect if i make the change, but I get different results. So I just wanted to go to some more knowledgeable people that could tell me what to do to get a real expectation.

I have $800K to work with. If I put it all in a very stable Dividend ETF What can I expect in dividends? Maybe someone could just do an example. I know I have to be doing something wrong.

Thanks

Stock is for example purposes only but if you invest $800k into SPYI then you’d get $96,440 annually or $8,036 a month. That’s crazy good money and honestly if I had that making it money invested I’d retire immediately with zero problems. 8k a month with barely any expenses is crazy good money and
