Now watch what happens if you reinvest your dividends. If you don't need the cash spun off by these stocks yet, you can automatically reinvest the dividends. You just tell your broker that's what you want to do. It's very simple. When you reinvest the dividends, you automatically buy more stock with the dividends (nothing out of pocket). You buy more shares and generate more dividends to buy more shares and generate even more dividends... Look how big the numbers get when you reinvest. After 10 years of reinvesting, instead of the solid $229,032 producing $7,996 in annual dividends, you have $334,911 that's spinning off $11,588. At the 20-year mark, you have $1,097,596 in your account, nearly double the $524,559 you'd have if you didn't reinvest. And the income generated totals $35,824, which is more than double the $17,262 in the earlier example. At 30 years of reinvesting, you're sitting on $3,524,108, nearly triple the $1,201,414 you would have if you didn't reinvest. And you're collecting $107,572 per year in dividends - on an original investment of $100,000. Keep in mind, you can stop reinvesting dividends anytime you need and start taking them as income. So if you're reinvesting dividends, your circumstances change and you need the cash flow from your dividends, simply quit reinvesting and start collecting the dividends. If you don't have the time horizon to reinvest dividends, Perpetual Dividend Raisers will still help you a great deal. Imagine getting a big 8% or 10% bump in your income every year. Maybe that will happen with Social Security if inflation is sky-high. With Perpetual Dividend Raisers, it happens year after year, boosting your buying power. The best part about living off your dividends is never having to touch the principal since your nest egg spins off enough income every year to live on. Whether you're years away from retirement or you're already retired, Perpetual Dividend Raisers should be an important part of your retirement plan. Maybe they'll help you end up like Julia's friend, carefree about your investments and supporting organizations you care about. Good investing, Marc P.S.
