Why I'm Building My Entire Retirement Around Dividend Stocks in 2026
Dividend growth stocks can put my retirement on a rock-solid foundation.
Overview
I'm building my retirement portfolio around companies with long records of paying durable, growing dividends. My thesis is straightforward. Companies that grow their dividends have historically delivered the highest total returns with the lowest volatility. As I get closer to retirement, I'm seeking both wealth creation and preservation, which dividend growth stocks have historically delivered.
I'm anchoring my portfolio around several core dividend growth machines, including Realty Income (NYSE: O) and WM (NYSE: WM).
