The market dropped nearly 15% this spring... but our conservative dividend portfolio? It grew income by almost 10%.
In this episode, we walk through our Q2 2025 Retirement Portfolio update—showing how even as the market got wrecked by tariffs, volatility, and policy chaos, we stacked more income, reinvested smarter, and stayed unbothered.
We break down:
- 🔻 How the portfolio value dipped 8% but the income surged
- 📈 How strategic DRIP and weekly income ETFs gave us an edge
- 🚩 Which holdings are red flags (OGN, QVCGP...) and which ones are screaming buys
- 🧠 The logic behind our high-yield + dividend growth strategy for retirement
- 🛑 Why market drops don’t matter if you invest for income, not headlines
If you want a portfolio that performs through chaos—not because you timed the market but because you built it right—this one’s for you.
