(🇺🇸based in Japan)Building a dividend portfolio to retire early in Thailand 🇹🇭 $SCHD-led, this is how I get there. Documenting the whole journey. NFA DYOR.

Thailand
A few years ago I did the math: how much passive income would it actually take to live comfortably in Thailand? Then I built a plan around it — $SCHD $DGRO $FDVV $JEPQ $QQQI, bought every month, dividends reinvested, patience doing the rest. Let’s build this. 🇹🇭📈

$SCHD in the 32s, how low will we go? Should I front load my Dividend payment from M1 finance that I will receive tomorrow? Are you buying or waiting?

🚨$ACN reports Thursday.🚨 It’s about 2.7% of $SCHD one of the fund’s larger holdings. Current Price: 176.20 Current Yield: 3.70% Accenture is a consulting firm. Companies hire them to plan and run big tech projects: systems, software, cloud, and process changes. $ACN AI story: Advanced AI was $2.7B last year about 4% of revenue. Bookings are running much hotter: $2.2B in one quarter, up 76% A weak report can move $ACN, and $SCHD with it.

Love $SCHD for the quality dividends. But the S&P 500 is a must in every portfolio. It’s my largest holding. Same 500 stocks. Tiny differences: SPY 0.09% fee • Most liquid • Best for options/trading VOO 0.03% fee • Huge AUM • Vanguard reliability SPYM (my favorite) 0.02% fee • Lowest cost • Best for long-term buy & hold Fees compound. For most people, SPYM or VOO wins.

Grateful for this community. IRL I have no one to talk about finance with. Some listen for a while before the eye starts to roll. I’d talk about spending less than I earn. Investing the rest. Paying the card off every month. “It’s not how much you make. It’s how much you keep.” Awkward silence. Here I can talk $SCHD, dividends, and building wealth with people who get it. Thank you all! 🌴🛺 #dividends #investing

$SCHD YTD dividend growth is just 0.85%🧐 Should investors be worried? I joined Eli from @dividendology on the Mispriced Podcast to dig into that and more: • What the Q3 dividend really tells us • Tech jumping from ~8% to ~12% after the rebalance • $SCHD vs. 5% Treasuries • Why I think 6% to 8% long-term dividend growth is still realistic • How massive late fund inflows may have pressured the Q3 payout per share • Why I still view $SCHD as a true value diversifier alongside growth We went well beyond the usual “dividend good or bad” debate. Full episode in the 🔗 below.

GOT TECH? $FDVV is the dividend ETF that actually owns tech (~30%: NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, GOOG,META). Last 5 years: 
• Returns: FDVV ~14%/yr vs DGRO ~11% vs SCHD ~10% 
• Div growth: FDVV ~14% vs SCHD ~7% vs DGRO ~5% Lower yield (~2.8%). Different tool, not a SCHD/DGRO replacement. Do you guys own FDVV?

Pending $SCHD dividend 💸 1,631.93 shares × $0.2665 = $434.91 hitting Sept 28. I know it’s not the biggest payout, but I plan to keep building over the years consistently.

🚨Trying something new! 🚨 Sold a cash-secured put on SCHD today. • 1x 10/30 $33 put • Credit: $0.35 • Breakeven: $32.65 • $SCHD currently $33.34 Happy to collect premium on this dividend ETF. If assigned, I’ll gladly own $SCHD at an effective $32.65. If not, keep the $35 and roll or let it expire. Theta working in my favor with 36 DTE. Does anyone else do this❓
