Replacing your active income with passive income with dividends sounds very appealing. So normally you would want to figure out the fastest way to live off dividends without taking on more risk than you feel comfortable with. The natural direction dividend investors lean towards is high yield dividend stocks and funds. But I have an alternative option that could lead to retiring and living off dividends even faster. If you would like to know my strategy for the fastest way to live off dividends check out the video.  I'm not recommending this strategy for anyone, but I think it's a good idea to review different options. Maybe this strategy will fit your goals better than the typical high yield approach. Ultimately you need to be comfortable with the investing strategy you select because you'll have to endure market turbulence and live with the final product. So choose the fastest way to live off dividends that suits you best!

The dividend kings are some of the best dividend stocks on the planet, all with at least 50 years of consistent dividend growth! That's no small feat to achieve, making these 38 companies the elite dividend kings with the longest dividend increase track records. In February two companies were added to this elite list of dividend paying stocks, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie. Both are excellent dividend stocks and will fit very well on this premium dividend stock list. Join me to take a closer look at these companies as well as the rest of the dividend kings.

2022 is off to a rocky start as the market is experiencing a lot of volatility and a lot of red days. Dividend aristocrats are fairing better and I believe they are some of the best dividend stocks to invest in for the long term. Dividend aristocrats are some of the safest and most reliable dividend stocks on the market. To become an aristocrat a company must have a streak of growing dividend income for at least 25 consecutive years. Anyone looking to start a dividend portfolio should be familiar with the dividend aristocrats and the benefits they can offer. I came up with 3 unique simple strategies to select the best dividend aristocrats each month. I believe that over a longer period of time each of these simple methods can deliver alpha over NOBL the dividend aristocrat ETF. Investing in individual stocks can carry more risk than investing in a broad index and you need to determine the best course of action for you. Join me to find out how my simple strategies work and which dividend aristocrats are the best in February 2022!

Warren Buffett has laid out a simple retirement strategy for the trustee of his wife's estate. The strategy is very simple and involves the use of only two investment vehicles. Mr. Buffett has instructed the assets to be allocated 90% to a low cost S&P 500 index fund and 10% to a short term government bond fund. If Warren Buffett thinks this strategy is suitable for his wife after he is gone then perhaps it can be suitable for the average investor as well. Let's find out what Warren Buffett's retirement strategy is, I'll share my thoughts and then we can put it to a test to see how it stacked up against the market starting at the absolute worst possible time.

Passive dividend income is a great way to fund your retirement. But how long does it take to build a portfolio that will generate enough passive dividend income? And is your dividend portfolio to hit your target income amount? Today I want to show you how to easily compute and lay out a plan to make sure that you do. You only need 3 pieces of information to design this future dividend income forecast: the current dividend yield, the expected annual dividend growth rate and the forecasted contribution amount. Dividend income increases as a result of 3 different factors, contributions to your portfolio, dividend increases and dividend reinvestment. It's very useful to know the role these 3 factors play on the final dividend income your portfolio can generate. It'll will help you develop the strategy you need today to help attain your desired dividend income in the future. Enjoy!
