Money and Finance
There's lots of reasons to love receiving dividends from your portfolio. For starters they are a truly passive income source. You don't have to go around making sales calls or doing paperwork for the company. All you have to do is invest in some of the best companies in the world and collect the checks. Even better is that many companies increase their dividend payment each year which is a nice bonus since it means you get to collect even more money just for having an ownership stake.
A passive income source that tends to grow each year is right in the wheelhouse of those that are pursuing financial independence. Financial independence is when your dividends, or other passive income sources, are higher than your expenses. That gives you the freedom to pursue whatever it is your heart desires. Whether it's writing the next great American novel, volunteering, spending time with family, doing extensive travelling, changing careers to something that might be more emotionally rewarding but not as financially rewarding as you need for your lifestyle. The possibilities really are endless whenever your expenses are covered without having to commit 1/3 or more of your day to work.
