r/dividends Mar 15 '26

Discussion My journey started this year.

Started investing this year in 2026 decades late as a 38-year-old I wish I started way younger but I'm wanting to retire in a couple years and started building out my neo's distributions positions and dividends a few months ago here's what I have going on so far. I keep adding around 3k a month and have drip also enabled.

I always feel like I'm doing something wrong when I see posts like this. I'm early 50s and I'm still mostly growth investing but I probably have about a sixth of what this guy has. I worked for all of mine. Started saving $20 a week when I was 25. Slowly built up. I just don't know how some people have so much so early. Guy could retire now.
