I can think of a lot of things I'd like to do with the money, mainly traveling. <br /><br />Not only do I passively makes $800/quarter, but I'm able to sleep well at night because my butt is covered with an emergency fund. Life really sucks when you have to worry about money, I do not take all this for granted. At the same time I've been consistently frugal and have sacrificed or rather delayed certain pleasures to make this happen. I look at it as delaying because I will spend the money in the future when I'm not forced to work.Compounding Incomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207986983526689578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232481098066200105.post-42368186459174774642012-04-05T20:21:08.623-04:002012-04-05T20:21:08.623-04:00Dividend growth investing is obviously treating yo...Dividend growth investing is obviously treating you very well!<br /><br />I totally agree with the part where you mentioned that even if you stopped investing right now and spent all the dividends you could make a dramatic difference in your life. <br /><br />The other way to look at it is that even if you stopped investing right now and let the dividends compound themselves you would probably still retire at 60 or so with a very healthy nest egg. So, the downside to all of this is very limited and the future looks pretty bright! You have more invested right now then a lot of 50+ year old people do.<br /><br />Best wishes!Dividend Mantrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876483095085297371noreply@blogger.com
