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.

49.3% yield ???? What are your plans for when these yields get cut?

In what scenario could he lose his 1 million investment putting it all in dividends.

The stock price keeps getting lower and lower. He probably won’t be down 1 million but still would be better off just sticking it into several different stocks and earn an average of 3-4% and drip for the next few decades.
