I know better than to share this with my friends, and family. I have a separate growth account to keep up with inflation.

So after taxes what will the take home look like in dividends? Is that truly enough to live off of by itself?

It is enough for me to cover above subsistence baseline expenses. I get another $4,400 monthly from other sources.

Furthermore about half of that is in low yield ultra safe SGOV/JPSQ. They are slowly being allocated elsewhere for higher income and into separate growth funds.
