What’s the time frame on being able to retire from 50k investment?
What would you talk to the financial advisor about?
Being able retire depends on your lifestyle...
If you like nice things...you'll need more money
If you can live an average lifestyle...you'll need less money...
Depending on your skill level and portfolio mix, a 50K portofolio can generate maybe 100 to 300 a month...
The equation is
Portfolio size desired = Annual income needed / Dividend yield of portfolio
Generating income through the stock market is the slow way to retirement unless you have thousands to play with
The benefit of dividend investing is...you are investing in established easy to understand companies like McDonalds, Johnson and Johnson, and Phillip Morris...
And then...the dividends you get..you can just reinvest it...
If I was talking to a financial advisor, I would talk about my goals
What job position I want...
What salary I want
What investments I want to pursue
When I want to retire...
Where I want to live...
If I want a family or not...
Your financial advisor should be able to help you with craft a plan for you to achieve your goals
