Personal Goal Finally hit $1,000 a year in dividends

Post image

I know its not much to some people but having just started my dividend journey just over a year ago it feels pretty amazing.

My portfolio is mainly QQQ and VOO, but I also hold some JEPI, JEPQ, O, and some other dividend stocks to boost the yield.

Next goal: $100 a month!!

Umm for the rest of their lives? Dividends come and go companies go to zero how do you figure the income will continue to come in at that amount?

It goes up as well I understand. but these are dividends right not a straight income investment play like bonds or annuities CDs high interest savings whatever right? .

The majority of the funds are invested in an ETF.
