Episode notes
Record Market, Low Earnings
- The stock market has seen record growth, but earnings are down, resulting in higher valuations.
- This presents a good opportunity for long-term investors to re-evaluate their portfolios and consider taking some profits.
Invest in Dividend Aristocrats
- Consider investing in dividend aristocrats: companies with a history of increasing dividends for 25+ years.
- These companies offer stability and higher yields than the current S&P 500 average.
Maximize Your Paycheck
- Think of yourself as a self-employed entrepreneur, always demonstrating your value to your employer.
- Prioritize your health, as poor health is a leading cause of early retirement.
