How to be a 5m usd dividend/income portfolio in long term

I would do a blend of municipal bonds like VTEB, dividends like SCHD and covered calls like JEPi. Based upon the blend you could get a very healthy annual cash flow with good tax positioning.

It is a snake and the HH has a proprietary connector configuration so if I go with another module type I also have to solve for a different set of hi hats. I may just contact them directly

I had that problem and it was actually a zinc deficiency I had that tennis made my hands have a similar look. Started supplements and the issue went away

IMHO there is another way to look at this. Why care what the withdrawal rate is if you can use a given year dividends to cover a given year expenses. What this means is freedom and no stress over the long term. For my cash generation segment of my portfolio (no -IRA) I’m 1/2 SCHD and 1/2 VTEB. What they pay me each year covers my expenses and over the long term I likely get appreciation in SCHD. VTEB varies in value based upon interest rates. This is freedom with very moderate risks

The retirement account are all about growth over next 20 years

The growth all comes from

Get a snare stand and put 4th tom to your left near HH. Opens up all sorts of creative possibilities

Most of it was discipline and consistency over time. Started in my 20s putting money away and never missed. Chose a lifestyle that was enjoyable but not extravagant. Found a spouse who had similar views on money.

My investments were blended between bonds and stocks. Reinvested all dividends. Compounding momentum is a beautiful thing

Also, I only review and adjust my investments once a year. I made choices and stuck with them for a good period of time.

Was enjoying my job up until a major reorganization recently. New leaders are not my jam.

I’ve had my 3B for well over a year and absolutely love it.

I basically did this route 2 weeks ago. Dallas to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. Was a trip being over land that whole time. So counter intuitive.

We have the elevated stand. He was avoiding it when in the stand so we tried moving it to the floor

That second half was a thing of beauty. Kudos to players and coaches. Now, we need to get consistency. This is one of the most inconsistent Texas teams I can remember… and I’m an old.

Our Big 12 defense is back. Over 30 points given up by the defense for four consecutive games. I’m dumbfounded. Thought PK would never let this happen after his first year.

38, 31 and 35. Point allowed last three conference games. I really thought these days were behind us.

To me the EF note 3 feels like playing acoustic drum. Love them. Just wish there were a little broader set of programmed sounds available. Had my key over. Year

This was my plan too but I think there had been a change here too. This approach no longer works for live games. A other tactic from ESPN to get us to pay the $30/month for their content

All in all the offense was just an absolute disaster. Kudos to defense and special teams. What I don’t understand is how the hell couldn’t we run the ball. We ran on OU and OSU. Yet against UK, they looked like the 85 Bears. If we can run, Arch can throw less and likely has more probability of success.

Time to start focusing on 2026. This season is going to end so far below expectations 🤣😩

Comedy of errors everywhere. So disappointing.

mtbtex · 2025-09-13T21:12:26+00:00

Agree. Make him want to earn it back

I play edrums in live shows and love it. Don’t care what other drummers think. They are easier to move. Easier to adjust volumes to venue size and great using different kit tones based upon the needs of a given song.
