To generate $7,200 a month in dividends, investors need roughly $2.16M at a 4% yield or as little as $864,000 at 10%, though higher yields risk principal erosion.
A 3.5% yield growing 8% annually doubles income in nine years, outperforming static high yields that steadily lose real purchasing power to inflation.
Blending SCHD and AMGN for growth with O for monthly cash flow targets a ~4% blended yield while preserving inflation-fighting compounding.
Many financial professionals are salespeople paid on what they push, not whether you end up wealthier. A fiduciary is the opposite. The SEC legally requires them to put your interests first. Advisor.com's free matching tool pairs you with vetted fiduciaries from major national firms, all in under three minutes. See who you match with today.
$7,200 a month in distributions works out to $86,400 a year. That is roughly what a comfortable retirement costs in most of the country once a paid-off house and Medicare are in the picture. The real question is how much capital you need to park, and what you have to accept in exchange, to produce it without ever selling a share.

Taylor Swift's love life has fascinated fans for years, becoming almost as widely discussed as her record-breaking music career. From fellow musicians to acclaimed actors and professional athletes, the global superstar has been linked to some of entertainment's biggest names. While her relationships have often inspired headlines—and occasionally hit songs—they have also fueled endless public curiosity about the people who have shared her journey.
Over the years, Swift has been romantically connected to celebrities including Joe Jonas, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hiddleston, and Alexander Skarsgård. Among her most significant relationships was her romance with British actor Joe Alwyn. Beginning in 2016, the pair kept their relationship remarkably private despite Swift's worldwide fame. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they quarantined together and even collaborated on several songs, with Alwyn receiving songwriting credits on award-winning tracks. After six years together, however, the couple quietly ended their relationship in 2023.
Following a brief romance with Matty Healy, frontman of the British band The 1975, Swift's personal life took another unexpected turn when she began dating NFL superstar Travis Kelce. Their relationship quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity romances in the world, blending two massive fan bases from music and professional sports. Swift regularly attended Kansas City Chiefs games to support Kelce, while the tight end traveled internationally to watch performances on her record-breaking Eras Tour. Their mutual support and public appearances made them one of entertainment's most recognizable power couples.
The relationship reached a new milestone when the couple became engaged in August 2025. Less than a year later, in July 2026, they reportedly celebrated their wedding at New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden. The ceremony was conducted under extraordinary security measures, including extensive street closures, private security teams, and a guest list filled with celebrities from music, film, sports, and television. Despite the intense public interest surrounding the event, organizers worked carefully to maintain the couple's privacy throughout the celebration.
Taylor Swift's relationships have always attracted enormous media attention, but her romance with Travis Kelce has become one of the defining celebrity stories of recent years. Combining the worlds of global pop music and professional football, the pair have demonstrated how two high-profile careers can support one another while remaining at the center of worldwide attention. Whether through music, sports, or their shared public appearances, Swift and Kelce continue to captivate fans across the globe.

It's not every day you get to have a memorable breakfast with your boss. Most people expect a quick morning conversation to happen around the office coffee machine. Last month, though, 97.3 The Fan's Ben Higgins and Steve Woods, along with producer Paul Reindl, gathered for something much different. The long-running San Diego morning show, Ben & Woods, was celebrating Woods' birthday.
The mood was light. It was a typical Friday morning wrapping up MLB All-Star Week and preparing for the second half of the Padres season. Breakfast burritos were on the menu, but so was another surprise. Each member of the show received a new three-year contract extension.
"Anytime you can get extended in media these days is a giant win," says Woods, who called the moment the best birthday gift ever. "We have an audience that's so dedicated to the show and knows where we are. Not just us but taking care of our producer was also a big thing for us. As soon as they did that, that forced the issue for us to do this."
Since 2019, Ben & Woods has become a staple for San Diego sports fans. The show originally launched a year earlier on the former Mighty 1090 before moving to Audacy's 97.3 The Fan after the station shut down. The program was built specifically for San Diego, blending sports, culture, humor and personality. Higgins and Woods have never been afraid to let listeners into their lives, and that same transparency extends to contract negotiations.
"Honestly, I would like to handle things behind the scenes. But compromise is part of a good radio marriage," jokes Higgins. "Woods loves bringing it all out there for our listeners. Which is our strongest quality. In terms of our deal, we were in alignment on a lot. It was just a few things that if they agreed on, we'd be ready to sign. We were just so happy to get it done."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's furry friends are reportedly not so friendly yet.
In the Sunday, August 9 edition of Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack, sources claimed that the 36-year-old pop star's cats Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin ***** on, and her and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's dog are still getting used to each other following their July 3 wedding.
In late July, Page Six obtained photos of the NFL star, 36, arriving in Palm Beach, Florida with his and Swift's white dog that seems to be a Samoyed.
MEGA
"Taylor and Travis are doing great. Ironically, it's the animals having the hardest time blending their families. The humans figured it out much faster," one source told Shuter. "Every newlywed couple has an adjustment period. Taylor and Travis have already found their rhythm. Now they're just waiting for the four-legged members of the family to catch up."

Olivia Rodrigo stepped out in a micro minidress from Gimaguas held up by just two strings, making a striking fashion statement. The "drivers license" hitmaker is known for blending chic style with glamorous vibes. This time, she opted for a look that perfectly combined modern allure with laid-back fashion, making heads turn.
Olivia Rodrigo turned heads in a striking micro minidress by Gimaguas, held up by just two delicate strings. The singer-songwriter shared the look in a vibrant photo dump capturing a fun outing with friends. With this bold fit, Rodrigo continues to prove she is the ultimate queen of effortless fashion.
The photos perfectly resonate with her signature aesthetic: relaxed, laid-back fashion that never compromises on glamor. For the occasion, she turned to the Spanish label Gimaguas. Founded by twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany, the brand is celebrated for its clean silhouettes and craft-inspired designs — both of which were reflected in Rodrigo's dress.
The dress featured two thin straps and a deep neckline for a bold touch. The upper bodice was a sleek black colour, which then flared into a pink skirt with a pleated design. The dress had a flowing design that lent it a soft and feminine vibe, while the deep back further elevated its daring appeal.
In one of the photos, she paired the look with black sunglasses while posing for the camera. Rodrigo kept her makeup and hair as understated as possible, wearing her hair down with a soft pink lip shade that perfectly complemented the outfit.

As we enter the business end of the 2026 World Cup with only four nations remaining, the first of the semi-final ties sees France take on Spain. Both powerhouses of the European game were rightfully amongst the bookies' favourites before the tournament got going.
France have been arguably the standard setters in the World Cup to date, blending defensive solidity with high-octane attacking football. Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has been one of their shining lights alongside William Saliba in the back four.
Moving into the middle third, former Borussia Mönchengladbach talent Manu Koné has deputised for Aurelien Tchouameni. Bayern Munich's Michael Olise continues to pull the strings from a central position, while ex-BVB star Ousmane Dembélé compliments Kylian Mbappé nicely.
Spain, by contrast, have been a fraction underwhelming in an attacking sense. Nonetheless, they continue to march forth with their strong defensive discipline proving to be the backbone of their success – they leaked their only goal to Belgium thus far.
Although their talisman Lamine Yamal has been quiet by his lofty standards, the winger showed signs of improvement in their quarter final success. Meanwhile, former Dortmund man Mikel Merino continues to deliver game-defining goals off the bench as of late.

Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:ALM) is one of the undervalued stocks to buy according to the Wall Street. On July 1, Almonty announced the commencement of processing operations at its Sangdong Mine in South Korea, marking the transition from mine development to active, revenue-generating production. During June, the company began feeding its newly commissioned plant with stockpiled ore to produce saleable tungsten concentrate, establishing a critical operational milestone for the facility.
The company entered the production phase with approximately 139,700 tonnes of run-of-mine ore, featuring a blended grade of roughly 0.25% tungsten trioxide. The processing plant is currently utilizing this stockpile to optimize ore blending and ensure consistent feed quality during the initial ramp-up, with management anticipating higher grades as operations progress.

By moving into this active phase, Almonty Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:ALM) solidifies its position as a global producer of tungsten concentrate while leveraging the high-purity potential of the Sangdong deposit.

I'm an Englishman in New York, and last month I slipped across New York Harbor to Governors Island, less focused on its strategic position as a command post but more interested in ***** tail making, award-winning pizza, and meeting Antoni Porowski to discuss his new series, National Geographic's Best of the World with Antoni Porowski.
For Antoni, the best meal in the world isn't necessarily served at a Michelin-starred restaurant — it might come from a grandmother's kitchen, a tiny London pub, or a chef preserving generations of tradition. That philosophy drives the new National Geographic series blending celebrity travel, food culture, and deeply personal storytelling.
Den of Geek: What was it that interested you about weaving a more personal angle into the celebrity-meets-culinary world format?
Antoni Porowski: It was the pause I experienced internally when we started discussing the "best of the world." lists. It's such a huge statement to make because it's so subjective. The best for one person could be a grandmother making tortellini she learned from her ancestors. For someone else, the best is a five-star hotel with butler service.
Where I found comfort was leaning into the human stories behind it. National Geographic and Two Four were incredibly supportive of that, and for me it's the most interesting part — the people. That's what I remember from trips.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Formula 1 once again transformed the city into a playground of speed, luxury and spectacle. From the palm tree-lined streets surrounding the Miami International Autodrome to the endless stream of celebrity appearances, yacht parties and brand activations, the race weekend has quickly cemented itself as one of the most culturally charged stops on the F1 calendar.
Sitting at the centre of that intersection between sport and lifestyle this year was Chivas Regal, who unveiled Chivas Regal 16 Limited-Edition alongside Ferrari driver and Global Brand Ambassador Charles Leclerc. The launch marked another step in Chivas Regal's growing investment in sport and culture. Alongside its partnership with the Scuderia Ferrari HP Formula 1 team, the whisky brand has also expanded into football as the official whisky partner of ****** nal FC, further positioning itself within ****** es where legacy, performance and global fandom collide.
Complex UK was invited out to Miami to experience the launch firsthand, which unfolded across a weekend of yacht-side ****** tail sessions, exclusive access to Ferrari's paddock and pit garage, plus an intimate sit-down conversation with Leclerc and Chivas Regal's master blender, Sandy Hyslop. At the centre of the collaboration is Chivas Regal 16 Limited-Edition: the first 16-year-old expression in the brand's history and Leclerc's debut signature blend. Built around the number 16—which has followed the Ferrari driver throughout his career—the whisky brings together 16 different whiskies, each aged for at least 16 years. But beyond the branding, the collaboration reflects a more hands-on creative process between Leclerc and Hyslop.
Speaking at the launch event, Leclerc explained how involved he became in shaping the final blend, travelling back and forth to Scotland between races to better understand the craft behind whisky-making. Working closely with Hyslop, the pair experimented with different flavour profiles before settling on a blend inspired by Leclerc's personal preferences, particularly the richness of sherry cask matured Longmorn single malt.
"16 has always been more than a number to me: it's something I've carried my whole career," Leclerc shared during the conversation. "Going to Scotland, seeing the distilleries, understanding the obsession behind every cask inspired me to create my own blend." That sense of detail and precision mirrors the mindset required in Formula 1 itself. Throughout the evening, both Leclerc and Hyslop spoke about the similarities between whisky blending and racing: the pursuit of marginal gains, instinct, patience and constantly pushing standards higher. "Charles didn't just put his name to this," Hyslop explained. "He was in the room, making decisions, pushing back."
