Retire With Growing Dividends

4/8/2014

Whenever I envision my life as a retiree (someday), I see myself living a comfortable life with no worries. A life where a retirement check comes in each month with an amount that's in excess of all those bills that also arrive each month.

It's a life of financial freedom and security. A life based upon the freedom provided by that constant monthly flow of income. And I think most people feel exactly the same. That's why most people talk about their company retirement programs, their social security payments, or their annuity-based IRA. It's that dream of never having to work again, but at the same time receiving a monthly check to cover all their bills and more. It's a great dream. And some of the best people in the world are living that dream today.

All of those sources of income are great but there's one additional source that can be very beneficial to the average investor, and that's the result of Dividend Growth Investing. It's the idea of buying stock in companies that pay monthly or quarterly dividends virtually forever. And the idea behind Dividend Growth Investing is finding those companies that will not only pay a dividend but will increase those dividends annually for years into the future. For me that means heading over to the list of Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Kings. Those are two great places (for me, at least) to start because those lists include companies that have been paying and increasing dividends continually for 25 and 50 years, respectively.

This idea of receiving a constant, steady and predictable stream of income on a regular basis is not only what dividend growth investing is all about, it's what retirement is all about also. Dividend Growth Investing, as a minimum, can be a great addition to anyone's company earned retirement system, and may, if adequately supported during an investor's life, can be a main provider of that financial freedom and security so often envied and sought after by everyone wishing to retire. 

This is exactly why Dividend Growth Investing is so important to anyone thinking about retirement. 
Risking everything on a monthly basis in order to capture the gains of a moving market is not an idea that most of us have when we think of retiring. Acquiring large capitalization companies, however, that pay increasing dividends can produce exactly the kind of retirement that everyone always dreams about. 


It's an idea worth thinking about.
