I'm ready to invest $1m that had been on the sideline for a few years. I get distraught thinking sometimes for not investing in 2020 when I could. Can't cry over spilt milk, I guess. I'm finally taking the plunge now.
I don't believe in the herd mentality of s&p investing. I like dividends and want income (in 10 years from now) and moderate growth.
I'm 43. My plan is to invest the $1m at once generating 8% dividend. My goal is to grow this nest egg to $5 million in 10 years time by reinvesting dividend income (DRIP) and contributions (through selling all my rentals in the next 5 to 10 years). I don't have any income at the moment as I'm in midst of career change. I do have some extra savings apart from the $1m to get me through for a year.
Here is the portfolio I've come with to reach 8% dividends:
Would you suggest replacing FEPI with JEPI/JEPQ for more security? Do you think my goal of growing this to $5m is plausible when I start to draw income 10 years from now.
How else would you allocate $1m? Curious to learn.
