Are dividend stocks secretly holding you back from building real wealth? In this episode, I break down the truth behind dividends, and why they might not be the safe path everyone thinks they are.
Many investors love dividends because they feel tangible — money in the account, proof that investing works. But here’s the problem: what feels safe often comes at the cost of growth. Dividends can be a sign of maturity, limited opportunities, and slower compounding.
In this conversation, I share:
Why dividend kings like Colgate and Altria aren’t necessarily great investments
The hidden tax and compounding cost of dividend payouts
Why share buybacks often beat dividends when it comes to long-term wealth
If your goal is to build wealth instead of just feeling safe, you’ll want to hear this.
00:00 Are dividend stocks a barrier to wealth?
04:15 Structural problems with dividend stocks
05:50 Are share buybacks a better solution?
06:35 What are dividend kings?
08:35 The best way to build compounding wealth
10:25 When dividend stocks make sense
