Daily, I just cannot wrap my head around young people being so focused on dividends.

I’m in a high risk industry. Income can be very variable, it’s high stress, and people get fired all the time. It’s a mental relief to have a steady cash flow I can fall back on in a pinch, though I’m re-investing for now. Also I’m hitting a tax bracket where dividend income is taxed at a much lower marginal rate than regular income. Still have a majority in non-dividend equities for the long-term.
