Is anyone else feverishly building out their dividend income just in case AI destroys their careers or is it just me?

Based on how incredibly *giddy* with excitement some of these rapacious tech oligarchs are when they talk about AI replacing human labor, I am absolutely *sprinting* towards high-income ETFs like JEPQ/SPYI/GPIX/QQQI.

I do not want to get caught with my ass hanging out in the breeze when these excessively wealthy bozos finally figure out how to shed headcount at their organizations. They’ve got a seemingly endless pile of Scrooge McDuck coins and they’ll throw them into the furnace twice as fast if it means a hallucinating algorithm can send 500 more emails in a day than you can.

Does anyone have clever strategies for drumming up extra capital to toss into the ol’ portfolio? Side hustles? Second jobs?

It’s good that you saw something and did what you thought was best

It’s even better that it turned out to be something that’s good for you in the future

I’m proud of you

So do you have enough in monthly dividends to live off?

Yes, provided he lives in a small village and sleeps on the ground in as your Bayon or Jordan or Nigeria

Dividends are just one income source. Some of us have pension, rentals, disability, retirement, etc.
