Chowder Rule

For now I only have one objective, but it is really just a matter of luck whether it is achieved or not. My target for our modest portfolio is to gain at least $25K in cash flow this year. Added to our fresh funding, that should exceed the $31K that we pulled from the IRA this January. As far as hopes go, I hope to actually recoup the full $31K. But there is nothing predictable about the cash flow that will be generated. It won't be a matter of sit back and enjoy the dividend flow, because I'm trying to squeeze over 10% from the under $300K portfolio. I'll be surprised if we don't generate at least $22K, but however we fare, dividends will only contribute about $11K to the effort.
