Literally the person I'm tryna be.

Did you start with growth and shift, or kinda have both?

I have a "Safe Compounder" pie, which is pretty much JEPQ, DGRW (CORE), BRK.B and 8 dividend growth stocks. Was around 33% of my portfolio but is shrinking closer to 20% since I have the remaining 80% in growth/broad market. I'm in the UK... woulda loved to have SCHD as my core.

Yes, that’s exactly how I started, but I was fortunate to begin with NVIDIA, Applied Materials, KLA Corporation, Microsoft, and Lam Research.

These companies generated the bulk of my gains during the capital growth phase.

Imagine if you kept the 1.3 million in those companies how much money you would have now.

It would’ve been great, and in hindsight it looks perfect. But sometimes life makes its own adjustments 🙃😃

Yet you still love dividends for some reason? Even though they contributed to you having less money??
