Hitting $112,800 annually in dividends demands $3.22M at conservative yields but just $1.06M from high-yield BDCs and mortgage REITs.
A 3.5% dividend yield growing 8% annually doubles income in nine years without adding a single dollar of new capital.
After-tax spending needs of $75,000 to $85,000, not gross salary, should anchor your capital target, shrinking the required portfolio at every tier.

A target of $9,400 a month in dividend income works out to $112,800 a year, all from distributions and without dipping into principal. That is roughly what a mid-career software engineer takes home, or what a two-earner household clears in a coastal metro. The math is straightforward division. Divide your income target by your portfolio yield, and that tells you how much capital you need. The interesting part is what shifts as the yield climbs.
