A $1.06M portfolio at 2.7% yield growing dividends 7% annually delivers roughly $28,600 in income and a $2,000 automatic raise each year.
Dividend growth stocks like PG and KO need ~$1.1M for a $2,000 raise but deliver accelerating payouts that outpace high-yield instruments long-term.
LOW's dividend grew fourfold since 2016 alongside a 223% price gain, and a 2.7%-yielding grower surpasses the 4.5% Treasury coupon within seven years.

A $2,000 raise usually requires a boss, a performance review, or a new job. A dividend-growth portfolio can do it more quietly. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) handed shareholders a small version of that raise in April when its board approved a 3% dividend increase to $1.34 per quarter, extending its streak to 64 consecutive years of higher payouts. Every share now produces about $0.16 more annual income than it did before the increase. Nothing had to be sold. No new shares had to be bought. The raise simply appeared because the business raised its payout.
