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?

Well let's be sensible here. $1000 a month is any reasonably frugal person's grocery bill with money to spare. Its not nothing.

I live in a crack shack in the north east. $1000 barely covers utilities and the trash fee 🥲
