My assets include a house(paid for long ago), dividend stocks (60%) and mutual funds (30%). My mutual funds are now 90% Roth IRA and include stocks and bonds. My dividend stocks furnish 1/3 of my income and social security 2/3. I have no debt what so ever. I have been buying more dividend stocks since I retired. I don't use the mutual fund money at all. Many people avoid stocks because they think that is too risky. I have one stock that I bought more than 30 years ago. It will probably lose money when the lights go out in Georgia. Two of my new stocks this year just increased their dividends (10%) for the 38th consecutive year. I think that everyone should have some good dividend stocks in their portfolio.
