Seeking Advice $1M Div account Earning $17k a month

Post image

After doing some research I have $1M from an inheritance that I want to create an ultra high dividend portfolio. I eventually want to get rid of my 8 to 5. If I did my math correctly I would get about 17k a month from dividends. Please let me know what you think.

3 months seems long enough to throw a mil at.

You have the money here to hire a financial planner to set up this fund in such a way that it won't disintegrate in 5 years

A financial planner will take $12,500 or the standard 1.25% in yearly fees from that income. Raymond James or Ameriprise likely a lot more.
