I recently found this website through good ole websearch for a dividend forum. I am married, in my 30s, and wish to build up a large enough passive income stream to give me the option of retiring by 55.
I am often the oddball, among the people I know, concerning investing. I consider buying financial instruments with the hope of later selling it at a higher price to be the equivalent of "investing" by betting red at the roulette table.
Essentially, my definition of an investment is an instrument that gives me a stream of income. Personally, I am a fan of rental properties and dividend producing stocks.
It is nice to find a forum to talk about dividends! My current strategy is to once a month invest $X plus any dividends I have recently recieved either a new stock or to purchase more of an existing holding.
