For several years now, our retirement accounts have been growing at a decent pace...this year, however, the performance has been pretty anemic! I am still thankful that we are not losing money. But that is why our family has now decided to switch our focus towards building our Dividend Stocks Portfolio and P2P Lending Accounts so as to have optional income streams in retirement. Nevertheless, we will still continue to track these accounts as they are still part of our retirement plan.

ReplyDeleteGood work! Dividend stocks portfolio in the taxable account could pick up a lot of slack.
While having a solid growing retirement income and pension for safety
That's the plan Dividend SWAN. :) Hoping to supplement roughly 25% of my retirement with dividends stocks. But wouldn't be opposed to more, just means I'll have more to pass on to future generations. :)
