I’m a dividend growth investor.<\/p>\n

Often, people think that being a DGIer necessarily means investing in very low-yielding but high-growth stocks such as those found in the sub-2%-yielding Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) or WisdomTree US Quality Dividend Growth ETF (<\/span>DGRW). Those who invest in stocks with yields in the neighborhood of 4%, 5%, 6%, or higher are relegated as “income investors.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a false dichotomy.<\/p>\n

Being a DGIer does not require buying low-yielding stocks. Neither does being an income-oriented investor require buying high-yielding stocks.<\/p>\n

It all depends on your time horizon.<\/p>\n

If you need to use the dividend income to fund your living expenses today<\/em>, then sure, buy the safest high-yielding stocks you can.<\/p>\n

But if you’re still in your working and accumulating years, like me, or if you’re retired with the fortunate ability to keep saving and investing a substantial portion of your income, you can afford to design a more nuanced approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

My own goal is to build the safest, largest, and fastest growing passive income stream possible.<\/p>\n
