I agree with you completely about that -- I don't think I appreciated how easy we had it a year or two ago! I'm very fortunate that the "hyper-inflationary" days of my dividend growth portfolio were in the 2008 to 2012 period. This was when I was establishing the foundation of my portfolio, moving funds from cash and index funds into dividend growth stocks. I was making purchases of good size (for me, anyway) pretty frequently. That is mostly over now, and these days I am just trickling in new money as it becomes available. If I had a lot of cash to deploy into DG stocks right now, I think I'd be a little more anxious. As it is, it is not usually too hard to find something to put a few dollars into every couple of months, but you are right -- these are NOT the easy bargains days we enjoyed recently.
