Investing is one of the most wonderful things in the world.
The ‘best‘ way to do it? It depends on your financial goals.
At Compounding Quality, we talk about three main paths:
Getting Rich: Small quality companies that are growing very quickly
Staying Rich: Established quality stocks that are still growing attractively
Living Rich: Quality companies paying an attractive dividend
Today, we’re focusing on Living Rich.
The goal of Living Rich is simple: build a portfolio that generates enough dividend income to cover your expenses.
When you can do that, you’ve achieved financial freedom.
