Blog, Dividend Income Report

Back in September 2017, I received slightly over $100K as a result of the commuted value of my pension plan. I decided to invest 100% of this money into dividend growth stocks.

There is a big difference between investing for the future and withdrawing from this investment to live. I put my portfolio on fast forward and took a look at trades I would do to make the switch toward a retire-ready portfolio. I was quite surprised to see how different both portfolios were. The point is that you must think about withdrawing money once you retire. Therefore, you need cash ready to …
