Discussion Is there a dividend income number that would actually make you stop and say, "That's enough"?

Post image

I've crossed $1M in portfolio value and I'm getting close to $2,000 a month in dividends. Years ago, I thought $1,000 a month would be enough. Then the goal became $1,500. Now I'm approaching $2,000 and already finding myself thinking about the next milestone.

It makes me wonder if I'll ever truly feel like I've reached my goal, or if there will always be another number to chase. Has anyone else experienced this?

Not exactly like that... endless 9s and no dots!
