7 Life-Changing Dividends Up To 18%
A safe double-digit yield makes it a lot easier to retire. Today we’ll discuss a portfolio that pays 14.1% (that’s no typo). The math on 14.1% looks awesome. This yield generates $14,100 on a $100K every year. Or $141,000 on a million dollar portfolio. Contrast this with “the market”—$1 million plunked into the S&P 500 would only […]
