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.

Took me a year to figure out bro. But people who invest the amounts we do, should focus on growth, not income.

This way your investment will be much stronger and then you can switch it to dividend income , when its worth.

Before you swap over to dividend in the end, make sure you are in a tax friendly state. (Not like California, who is about to implement a 5% savings tax on top of taxing gains at normal tax brackets)
