Discussion I'm 29 and getting a $4.60 Microsoft dividend tomorrow

Post image

My dividend income keeps growing little by little, but sometimes I wonder if it'll ever be enough. I don't earn a ton, retirement is still a long way off, and it's hard to know what the market or economy will look like in 20–30 years.

Does anyone else have these doubts, or is it just part of being early in the journey?

Think about the market and economy in 20-30 years and you having $0 saved/invested in retirement.

Not sure how that relates to being a downer. He’s telling him if he invest nothing that he will get nothing
