A 3.5% dividend-growth portfolio anchored by JNJ or KO can double annual income every nine years without adding a single dollar of capital.
PEP and KMB pay qualified dividends taxed at preferential rates, unlike BDC or mortgage REIT distributions, a difference that can shift required capital by six figures.

Think about what it takes to collect $11,800 every month purely from dividends, never selling a single share. That works out to $141,600 over the course of a year, roughly what a physician ***** istant earns, or about what a comfortable retirement costs in an expensive coastal city. The amount of capital you need to make that happen swings wildly based on the yield you target, and the compromises you make at each yield level are really what this whole exercise is about.
At a blended 3.5% portfolio yield, $141,600 divided by 0.035 requires roughly $4 million in capital. At 4%, the number drops to about $3.5 million. This is the dividend-growth lane, populated by companies that raise their payout every year and let the income stream outrun inflation.
