Dollar-Cost Averaging into Dividends While We Wait: A Measured Approach

They say penny-pinching investors transform into big spenders when it comes to the stock market. Maybe there's some truth to that! But hey, who can blame us? The allure of building wealth can be intoxicating.

While some go all-in, I'm taking a more measured approach. Think of it as a delicious, slow-roasted investment strategy. Here's the recipe:

20% Allocation: Every month, I dedicate a healthy 20% of my income to stock market investments. This consistency, known as dollar-cost averaging, helps me avoid the perils of market timing.

Focus on Dividends: My portfolio leans heavily on dividend-paying stocks like $3M(MMM)$,$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ and $The Kraft Heinz Company(KHC)$. These companies reward me with regular payouts, providing a nice drip, drip, drip of income into my account.

Building a Cash Reserve: Right now, with a potential downturn looming on the horizon, I'm also building a sizable cash reserve of about 50% of my monthly income. This safety net ensures I have dry powder ready to seize opportunities that might arise during a market correction.

This strategy might not be all flash and fireworks, but it allows me to steadily grow my wealth while playing it relatively safe. Remember, slow and steady wins the investment race!

How Do You Allocate Your Monthly Budget?
When someone asks what investors spend the most money 💵💵 on each month, it's undoubtedly the stock market. Some say that investors are thrifty in real life, reluctant to spend an extra penny, but they spend lavishly in the stock market. When planning monthly expenses, they allocate just a bit 🤏 for food and put most money into the stock market and banks.
