There’s a time and a place for dividends. I have a 401K, a taxable brokerage and a Roth. My 401K is about 85% equities and my main retirement account. My brokerage account has VTI & VONE & VTV, but I have a good bit of REITs, BDCs, Dividend ETFs and covered call ETFs. It generates enough income for me to fund my Roth each year and rollover and buy some more funds. When I get closer to retirement, I can stop funding the Roth and just use the extra income.

Just gotta have a plan.

For the OP; I have SCHD and like it. I also have VYM, JEPQ, SPYI, PFFA, DX, BXSL & QDVO that I like too.

I rarely ever watch soccer, but I remember being at a friends house and sitting down on the couch and seeing this happen. It was amazing! Then 10 more minutes of running around kicking a ball and I lost interest again. :lol:

Does anyone remember the movie BASEketball? Is that becoming a prophecy like Idiocracy?

Where are you located?

Not a lot of rain here in St. George. But lots of lightning and the power is out.

It’s sad, but true. I don’t see a team putting up a statue of him outside their arena.

People in the 60s and 70s had a war and gas shortage and 20+% interest rates. The hippies blamed old people and old people said the new generation was soft.

90s had the dot.com bust and aids and desert storm. Younger kids did the counter culture movement, but not as much complaining.

2000s had 9/11 and the great financial crisis. There was the occupy Wall Street/99%ers, then we had Covid in 2020 and here we are now electing socialist.

Basically, life is always tough for everyone. It’s tougher if you’re lazy or stupid. Every generation blames the one before and every generation thinks the ones after them are lazy or soft. Don’t fall into that trap of blaming someone else for your problems.

That being said, as a Gen Xer, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone complain more than young people today. Not sure if it’s because of social media and more places for them to bitch, or if it’s more that victimization has become in vogue.

You could be watching him in a soap opera.

Jets have plenty of draft capital. I could see them taking a swing with a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Teams that need a QB/future QB: Jets, Vikings, Cardinals, Steelers & Browns.

Some teams with QB questions: Texans, Dolphins, Panthers & falcons.

Trump’s BBB increased spending. Tariffs were done illegally and now we have an increased deficit because he tried to use a shortcut instead of getting a congress he controls to pas a law. Money keeps getting spent on things like walls, ballrooms, TSA bonuses, etc that we were told tax payer dollars would not be spend on. Now we gotta contribute towards a $300B payment.

How/why in the hell do you think he would lower taxes?! Are you living under a rock or something?

First and foremost, I hate atlanta. Hate ‘em!!! But they have a lot of talent. QB is an issue, but I’m almost a little afraid that Matt Ryan is going to bring some competence to the organization.

Tampa kinda caught lightning in a bottle two years ago. That lightning is now just a dwindling sparkler that continues to fade.

I like what we are building. I think we are still a year or two away, but hopefully we see some really good play this year.
