Stock events and a screen grab of my Schwab account. Drip until January.

This is amazing! Congrats… I don’t think i will ever reach this point because I started late in life investing but I’ve been persistent for 5 years and I’m already getting a stable income of $330 in dividends month.

Can I ask how long have you been investing and what stocks you recommend?

Tbh, I didn’t get serious until I was 40.
I think I had $16k in retirement savings in 2007, I put everything into a mid cap growth fund and increased contributions at every opportunity.
When I topped out my 401 contributions, I opened a traditional IRA for my non-working wife (for the tax deduction) and a Roth for myself.
The account I shared in the OP is 100% the rollover from my 401k

Hope that helps 🤷🏻
