No one wants to work forever, and the question of financial security becomes more pressing. Can we really count on enjoying life after retiring, without having to find another job just to make ends meet?
Intro
Friends, I wish you all a Happy Easter! Wishing you all the best—prosperity, happiness, and success.
This weekend was incredibly eventful, so this Sunday coffee spilled a little into Monday 😊
I spent the holiday with my family. We went on long walks, chased monsters, escaped from pirates, and launched a croissant-fueled assault on a café. We returned from a trip to France on Thursday morning, and by Sunday, we were already enjoying Easter desserts and watching cartoons.
Main
Life moves forward, the kids are growing up. What’s left behind are vivid new memories. It’s a wonderful time. I love life—and it becomes even brighter with those little dividend notifications. A few of them came in over the past few days 😊
It’s deeply important to me to know that my family is protected and my children have a future ahead of them. And just as important is knowing that we have a great future, too—one that we’ve built through consistent saving and investing, and one we’re beginning to truly feel the fruits of. So many amazing moments are still ahead!
At the beginning of the year, I shifted our savings and investments into dividend-paying stocks. And just this past week, I made my first test transfer of dividends from my brokerage account to our bank account. My wife and I celebrated this symbolic moment with a glass of champagne in Paris.
Whether I’m writing a new post, developing ideas, discussing app updates, or simply spending an entire weekend with my family—I feel happy. Happy because I feel free and secure.
MaxDividends is quietly doing its job, step by step. New dividends are coming in. New payouts are growing. While I collect meaningful new memories, MaxDividends and the companies in the portfolio are hard at work growing my passive income.
Wishing you a blessed and joyful Easter!
P/S
Let Me Show You Something
Since the beginning of the year, U.S. stocks have lost around 20%+ on average.
If things stay as they are through year-end, this year could feel similar to 2002 (Dotcom Bubble ~ -21%) or the sharp phase of the COVID crash (~ -20%).
If the market keeps dropping, we might see declines comparable to the 2008 Financial Crisis, which saw a fall of about -36%.
I share this to highlight just how significant the volatility has been. And there’s no guarantee it’s over. No one can say for sure the market won’t go lower. This is uncertainty in action.
But Here’s the Good News: Check Out the Data Below
#1 Meanwhile, Dividend Eagles stocks have:
Seen zero dividend cuts so far this year
About 50% of them have already raised their dividends with average +8.50% hike. The rest usually announce increases in Q3.
#2 Meanwhile, in my own portfolios:
19 out of 40 companies have increased their dividends this year. Here are just a few:
Teleperformance SE boosted its dividend by +9.00%
Asseco Business Solutions raised its dividend by +25.00%
Nexstar Broadcasting boosted its dividend by +10.00%
Robert Half International boosted its dividend by +11.00%
PepsiCo raised its dividend by +5.00%
#3 Meanwhile, my passive dividend income since the beginning of the year continues to grow
And on top of that, I’m using this cash flow to buy more quality stocks at a discount—accelerating the growth of my passive dividend income even further.
Every month, my passive income grows higher and faster, like a snowball. Regardless of the market weather. The chart above shows the monthly dividend income trend. Month after month, come rain or shine, it keeps climbing higher and higher.
Now I hope you see what the MaxDividends concept is all about.
Final Thoughts
How are the MaxDividends team and I acting today? The same way we did yesterday, my friends. We buy great stocks, reinvest dividends (partially or fully), enjoy the growth of passive income, and stay on the path to living off dividends. We continue building a rising passive income stream.
This Friday, I invested another portion of my savings and shared my purchases with you. And I’ll do the same next week—and beyond.
To your wealth, Max
