3 Clicks For $4,000 In Monthly Dividends

Let’s go ahead and build ourselves an “instant” income portfolio throwing off a rich 8.8% yield. A yield like that, after all, could put a dividends-only retirement within our reach. Or at the very least help you scale back your day job and make up the difference with dividend payouts.

When we build our retirement with CEFs, we get to hold the top stocks, bonds and other assets, like publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), out there. But with a twist: we get a big slice of our return in dividends thanks to these funds’ sky-high yields of 8%+.
