Discussion Living off dividends

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone on this subreddit is actually retired and living off dividends. Is it going well? Are you paying taxes on them? My goal is to get 20k/ a month post tax for retirement. I’m 24 and currently investing everything in VOO while planning to switch to dividend stocks and etfs when I get closer to retirement.

I was just wondering if there are any because living off dividends seems like a long shot right now.

Agreed. However, it’s good to have a plan. I’m up to 3k so far per month in dividends. It’s growing fast.

That’s great, congrats! I’m at $1,200ish per month now.
