I don't know how popular dividend investing is here but progress is real.

As someone who had to deal with income uncertainty in the past, upto and including homelessness, the peace of mind of watching month expenses slowly get enveloped is incredibly real. This is all apart of our FIRE plan to be able to leave a basic income to our family long after we pass. Yes, I'm aware straight growth investing would be higher returns but it's the price of not having as much anxiety of what ifs.
