Pour a cup and sit in as Paul Hesch journals his generational wealth journey through three listener picks: Stanley Black & Decker (SWK), Target (TGT), and Campbell Soup (CPB). He looks at dividend consistency, payout ratios, 52-week ranges, and why a simple “1 percent per payout” rule helps him gauge income potential. SWK’s long dividend history gets a closer look, Target’s holiday-season setup and 2026 recovery window are weighed, and CPB’s steady quarterly distribution at a low price point is considered for accumulation. This is personal journaling, not financial advice, meant to spark your own research into dividend investing, passive income, and long-term wealth building.
