Dividend review 1 year after 4-5 years of investment 💰

This year, the dividend is about 120,000 baht. Why do I still like dividend stocks?

Count the dividends received, combined with those expected for the rest of the year, this year should be about USD 3,600, or about $120,000.

For an average of 12 months, it's about $10,000 a month.

In fact, I've been investing for about four or five years, and gradually DCA has been filling the portfolio, and dividends have been reinvesting like this all along.

On the way, not everything is right, buying wrong, selling wrong, changing guidelines, and learning more and more about investing.

There is one question that many people think is likely to wonder,

📈 "This long investment. Why not buy a stock to grow at all?"

In fact, I don't have anything to do with growth stocks, and I understand that stocks that don't pay dividends and continue to grow their profits can have better returns in the long run.

Including foreign dividend stocks, there are tax matters and other drawbacks to accept.

But the reason I still like dividend stocks is very simple.

Some people like to see stocks go up 10% or 20%, like to see profit numbers in the portfolio, but I like the feeling when money comes in.

500 Baht

1,500 Baht

3,000 Baht

Not a lot, but it's like something tells us

"The money we collect is really making money back for us."

And the brain will start to think for itself

If you want more dividends, how many more assets do you need?

So it became an incentive for me to keep saving money and replenishing ports.

Sometimes I see it as a little "brain trick" myself. 😂

But if this kind of deception makes me save more money, invest more and not stop going, I think it's also useful.

🔄 And what did the dividends do?

Most of the time, I haven't withdrawn it yet.

Salary → Divided

Dividend → reinvest

There is money left → Fill more ports.

It's been going around like this for 4-5 years.

From an early period when the dividend felt almost nothing; today it is starting to become a more visualized number.

But what I felt was worth 120,000 baht.

I'm still investing.

Didn't quit after the first year.

Didn't stop when the market went down

And still have the strength to continue

⚠️ 10,000 baht a month doesn't mean you get that much money every month.

This number only divides the average full-year dividend because each stock or fund has a different pay cycle.

Some months get a lot, some months get a little bit, and in the future the dividend can also be reduced.

So I don't view dividend stocks as "better" growth stocks.

I just think that investing is not just a question:

"What yields the highest?"

But another equally important question is

"What keeps us going?"

For me, seeing dividends come in every now and then gives me the strength to keep and invest.

It may not be the best way to do it in theory, but if it allows me to continue for another 10 or 20 years without giving up, that's worth it for me.

Now I still work regularly.

Still the same DCA.

And most of the dividends are still going back into the port.

This year, about 120,000 baht.

What's the matter in five years? I'll be back in review. 😄

What about everyone, if you invest long-term, will you prefer dividend stocks with money coming in or growth stocks?
