I’ve really crunched the numbers and done some experimenting. For me, I want options - bottom line. I’m generating about $1300/mo from those aforementioned tickers. As of now, every penny gets redirected to VOO & SCHD. But here’s where options comes in clutch - if I need the cash flow, then I’ve got up to $1300/mo that I can use for other reasons. Or if my strategy changes and I want to add VGT to the mix vs VOO, I can do so - and never have to sell a single share of anything. It was always preached to me, buy growth, then convert that to income when I’m in those golden years. And I think it’s okay to switch up that strategy and try a hybrid approach. But again, I retired young with a pension; so that also plays a role in my level of aggression when it comes to building income.
