That's disheartening af.
Best dividend stocks
I have 3000 spare, but I also have a college fund, which isn't being used that has circa 50,000, I also receive money from the VA for my college, but I don't spend nearly as much as I am receiving so I can continue to invest.
Also add a modest income from my job
Meh, it's not that bad if you are reinvesting the dividends in buying more shares and getting these shares through something like a 401(k) or company stock purchase program.
If you stick with it for 30 years you should be able to get there pretty reliably.
This is my plan
Ahh, currently I'm 22 years old, making only $17/hr at an entry level position at a big pharmaceutical company (only have $1k take home after living expenses). I might get a second part-time job for fun/more money on the side. I will of course be able to make more money further into my career and all that.
$500k+ just seems like so much right now.
Similar situation, just got to start small user.
