How Much You REALLY Need to Retire on Dividends

View ChannelAbout
My mission is to help people achieve financial independence and retire early. My channel contains educational content on your 401(k), Roth IRA, and TSP. If you want to retire early, you have to take control of your finances now! My financial independence journey began in 2014 when I realized how broke I was. I lived way above my means and was in over my head with $110k in debt. I completed my debt-free journey in 2 years by the age of 30. I discovered the Financial Independence and Retire Early (F.I.R.E.) movement and saved 60-70% of my gross income. I became a financial coach to help millions of Americans get out of debt, create a budget, and achieve financial freedom. I started my YouTube channel in 2021 to share my progress in F.I.R.E. I have a website to offer my financial coaching services, free spreadsheets, and personal finance calculators. I hope you find my experience helpful in starting your F.I.R.E. journey.

Can you actually retire and live off dividends? In this video, I break down exactly how dividend income works, the difference between qualified and non-qualified dividends, how the IRS taxes them, and how much you’d need to invest to live tax-free in retirement on dividend income alone. We’ll also cover real examples using VOO and SWPPX, show how the 4% rule compares, and uncover both the pros and risks of a dividend-focused strategy. If you're serious about building a retirement plan that pays you back, this is the breakdown you need. 📖 FIRE Investing Academy 📖 ➡️ https://www.firepsychat.com/fireinvesting Join my private FIRE 🔥 Community to connect with me! 🙂 ➡️ https://firepsychat.com/community 👨🏫 Financial Consultation 👩🏫 Schedule a 1-on-1 Private Session with Psy ➡️ https://www.firepsychat.com/consultation The budget app!
