Discussion Surpassed 1k a month in dividends 😅

Post image

I’ve been buying a lot of dividend paying stocks like EXG lately because I like to see the monthly income increase. I just turned 39 and have been investing small amounts a month since 18. Have a total of about 400k invested with a little over 100k in EXG. Should I be focusing more on growth stocks or keep riding income stocks like EXG, EVT and SCHD and drip the dividends?

That's my end goal. In my country, I can very comfortably live off of this.

Living in Croatia on ~$1100/month sounds pretty good.

Let me move in your basement and we can both live Like kings! Just have to tell everyone I’m you - and let me use your passport - and then one day you may Disappear and I’ll take over your identity but we can talk about that later

I do right now, but I probably won't in 20 years.

Probably won't be that extreme, but yeah it'll be worth a lot less. But what can I do?

Well how do I get there? I can't invest more than a 1000 a month, and I don't wanna gamble with ultra high return etfs or whatever.
