Date: July 24th, 2017 11:06 PM Author: Mischievous avocado pocket flask Makes no difference whether your investments spit out $40K dividends or appreciate $40K. Same difference. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3684041&forum_id=2#33848081) |
|
Date: July 24th, 2017 11:08 PM Author: Overrated startling station CR. Dividend growth investing is for boomers who don't realize that a stock paying 4% dividend yield is going to appreciate 4% less than a stock of an identical company that pays no dividend.
Since cap gains and dividend tax rates are equal as well, there is really no difference. |
|
Date: July 24th, 2017 11:10 PM Author: Swashbuckling Set Yep.
Too many boomers chase dividend stocks so most of the time these are companies that are overvalued even when you net out their dividend.
The 4% dividend they pay would be much better used on ROIC projects which return 10%+. Many times, these stocks run sideways for years or get hit with multiple compression in the long-term as they lose their competitive positioning, i.e. retail/industrials. |

Date: July 24th, 2017 11:00 PM Author: Swashbuckling Set I had a cash net worth of $1mm (now $1mm in real estate) but I am much younger than you and there is no way you can live off that.
Inflation alone will kill your living costs, so your best shot is to do what I did and buy 2-3 properties which hedge against inflation.
Once you do that, you will be forced to work a few more years to pay off the mortgage(s). Of course then you also need to eat/have fun so you will need to add on another few years to that while you are paying off the mortgage(s).
That gets you to about age 40. Then if you want kids you need to work until you're 50. If there are any emergencies (health issues, divorce, etc.) you probably should work until age 60 before you retire happily. |
|
Date: July 24th, 2017 11:02 PM Author: Mischievous avocado pocket flask lol oh yeah inflation has been such a beast the last decade. Such a good idea to pile up "investment property" instead of getting 6% real returns in the stock market. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3684041&forum_id=2#33848056) |
|
Date: July 24th, 2017 11:03 PM Author: Swashbuckling Set I do both, but real estate has returned much more for me than the stock market has. You know Austin property saw 100% gains in the past 2 years right? LA was a great real estate market too. Excluding the ~$7k of rent I get every month, real estate has still been a better investment than a 100% net long portfolio. FYI I had a 10% IRR the past 3 years in the stock market, so a bit above market (i.e. S&P 500).
Anyways.
Your troll post is one I've made multiple times on different boards. Good to think about, but in no way realistic.

I did ibanking at 22 and work at a fund now. Bought my first property which appreciated by 50%. My second property appreciated almost 100%. My third property was a year ago and already appreciated 10%.
Basically inheritance and compounding capital. It helps that my work is 100% lined up to leverage my PA.

Date: July 24th, 2017 11:16 PM Author: Swashbuckling Set Nope, never got an MBA. Top ugrad is all I'll say, no doobs.
To get back to the OP though, I have definitely thought about retiring at 35 or 40. But if you want kids and you don't marry an above average girl, you're better off just finding a job you love where you can at least net even paying off your mortgage and keeping up with your PA.
That you way you can 100% retire with about $5mm liquid net worth which is what I think the minimum is for those who want to keep an above average lifestyle. |
