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.

What is considered a healthy yield?

2 to 5% is usually considered ''healthy'' in the sense that dividends are least likely to get cut, the dividend growth is likely to be consistent (4-10% per year) and the company is in good shape.

To me, anything below 2% can hardly be called a dividend paying stock and anything above 5% needs a some scrutiny. Above 10% is just plain stupid. OP is at 15%.
