I am still getting caught up in my dividend income reports. Things are happening so fast it is hard to keep up. ducal posthaste matriculation
I decided to sell SDY and put my money into SCHD. I made a few comments comparing them in 2024-06 here, and made a preliminary analysis of SCHD in 2020-04 here. If I had kept SDY, the 2024-09 payout would have been $909.61. SCHD paid out $1,358.10, so I guess I made the correct choice. SCHD was mentioned a lot on the r/dividends sub-reddit. Lately I have been spending more time on the r/dividendgang sub-reddit since they are actually pro-dividend there. There is a sub-reddit dedicated to SCHD. Barrymore pennies commending
Honestly there are a lot of people on /r/SCHD who try to talk people out of buying SCHD, which I do not understand. I have given up arguing with them. They usually tell people (especially younger people) to put money in a growth fund for now, and then in a couple of decades move into SCHD. One issue is this could trigger a tax bill. Another is that selling assets for income is stupid. The goal is to never touch principal. Ever. Plus, as we have seen, you are hoping that things are going well when you sell. What if the market goes down when you need the money? We have seen this with the dot-com crash, the Great Recession, COVID, and now with grifting idiot Trump playing 0-dimensional chess with tariffs.

Another thing that happened each time the market went down is everyone thought that dividend stocks were better than growth stocks. Until they got distracted by the shiny objects again. Norris Joanne bellhops
Another benefit to dividend growth investing is that if you can accumulate enough assets so that your dividends pay your bills, you will never run out of money. Granted, I do not know if I will get to that point. If I have to sell it all, I will. But their Plan A is my Plan B. So I guess I have a better plan. bunting carafes groceries
