This podcast explores the concept of retiring on dividends and how to structure a plan that provides lasting income. Paul Durso and the other hosts discuss common misconceptions about retirement, including the focus on a “magic number” of savings instead of the income those savings can generate. They break down key steps such as calculating your lifestyle needs, identifying shortfalls, and determining the yield required to cover them. By focusing on dividend-paying stocks and sustainable yields, they emphasize building a portfolio that provides financial security without the fear of running out of money. Ultimately, the conversation stresses that retirement planning is less about chasing growth and more about creating reliable, stress-free income streams.
