One Reddit user, an investor with a $640,000 portfolio, is encountering this issue as he plans to retire in five years or less. Heavily invested in Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) with smaller positions in Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIVO#NYSE">DIVO</a>), Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDVO#NYSE">IDVO</a>), and Amplify CWP Growth &amp; Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QDVO#NYSE">QDVO</a>), the poster&#8217;s portfolio generates $27,162 in annual dividend income.
His goal is to build a portfolio that provides inflation-beating dividend growth, but he&#8217;s wondering whether he diversified enough, whether he should introduce bonds when nearing retirement, and whether the current allocation can generate $75,000 per year.
&#8220;I try to live modestly. I live in a small house. No mortgage. No debt. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1ji8lcd/comment/mjeufff/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">My current nominal expenses are about $45,000 per year.</a> I'm thinking about diversifying into [Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schy#NYSE">SCHY</a>)] to get a little more international exposure,&#8221; he wrote.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
The Reddit community weighed in, offering advice and insights, so let&#8217;s analyze the suggestions below.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can The Current $640,000 Portfolio Generate $75,000 Per Year in Dividends? Reddit Debates</h2>
Increase Yield with Higher-Paying ETFs And Stocks
Several users suggested adding higher-yielding assets to boost income, mainly since the investor&#8217;s 4.24% yield may not cover his $75,000 target.
&#8220;Try getting more yield exposure. [Broadcom (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)], [Nike (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nke#NYSE">NKE</a>)], [Visa (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/v#NYSE">V</a>)], [The Home Depot (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hd#NYSE">HD</a>)]–all have high 5-year [compound annual growth rate]. Yield: [MPLX LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mplx#NYSE">MPLX</a>)], [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)], [Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gof#NYSE">GOF</a>)], [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)​], [VICI Properties (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vici#NYSE">VICI</a>)], [PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pdi#NYSE">PDI</a>)],&#8221; a suggestion reads.
A Redditor advised the investor to allocate two parts of the portfolio to a covered call ETF and a high-yield fund since they pay well and the gains are great.
&#8220;Add JEPQ and [Goldman Sachs S&amp;P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpix#NASDAQ">GPIX</a>)]. You will have good gains from those and they pay a lot.&#8221;
A commenter suggested Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARDC#NYSE">ARDC</a>), a business development company because it offers nearly double the yield of SCHD.
&#8220;ARDC is a monthly payer, now at a good entry point at $14.14-ish with a 9.9% dividend, currently paying $0.1125/share monthly. Just went x-dividend. I hold 5,000 shares of ARCC (for several years) and 5,000 shares of ARDC (a more recent position),&#8221; he said.

Focus on Dividend Growth and Compounding
Many Redditors suggested that dividend growth stocks and ETFs are ideal for long-term retirement income, with many sharing what they do to ensure compounding growth for their portfolios.
&#8220;A well-diversified dividend portfolio with a disciplined reinvestment rate should be easily able to weather most storms. And you become a net buyer of shares every year, not a seller. That $640,000 could easily and safely do 8.5% gross and provide a 25% reinvestment rate and still net $40,000/year. I&#8217;m living it,&#8221; a Reddit user said.
&#8220;Nice and consistent portfolio. SCHD, DIVO, and IDVO are very consistent in growth and dividends. Don't know much about QDVO, but I am sure if it's similar to DIVO it's a good pick. I like your portfolio!&#8221; another commenter wrote.
A retiree shared that his income from dividend-focused shares continued to pour even during market corrections and that he&#8217;s reinvesting part of his distributions, growing his wealth year after year.
&#8220;My dividend income didn&#8217;t miss a beat during corrections in 2022, etc. Since I retired 15 years ago, I never sold shares except to rebalance. I reinvest part of my distributions during dips, like now, resulting in my portfolio being over twice what it was when I retired,&#8221; he said.

Its stores offer building materials, home improvement products, lawn and garden products, and decor products and provide various services, including home improvement installation services and tool and equipment rentals. The acquisition of Interline Brands in 2015 allowed Home Depot to enter the MRO business, which has been expanded through the tie-up with HD Supply (2020). The additions of the Company Store brought textiles to the lineup, and the 2024 tie-up with SRS will help grow professional demand in roofing, pool and landscaping projects.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

What To Know: The latest <a href="https://www.fitchratings.com/structured-finance/abs/auto-indices">report from</a> Fitch Ratings showed a growing number of people are unable to keep up with their car loan payments with 6.6% of subprime auto borrowers more than 60 days behind, marking the highest level since the data began being tracked in 1994. 
Additionally, a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York revealed <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2025/20250213">the number</a> of auto loans moving into serious delinquency — defined as being 90 days or more past due — increased to 3%, marking the highest level since 2010.

Another indicator is the Consumer Confidence Board Consumer Confidence Index <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence">which fell</a> sharply by seven points in February, indicating pessimism about current and future economic conditions. 
"In February, consumer confidence registered the largest monthly decline since August 2021," said Stephanie Guichard, senior economist, Global Indicators at The Conference Board. 
"This is the third consecutive month-on-month decline, bringing the Index to the bottom of the range that has prevailed since 2022, Guichard added. 
American households are running out of emergency funds which could be contributing to the bleaker financial outlooks. Data from the Federal Reserve shows that households' ability to come up with $2,000 for an emergency expense within the next month is at the lowest level since the survey started in 2015.
"Taking into account that the CPI level today is 35% higher than in 2015, the situation is even worse," said Dr. Torsten Slok, chief economist for Apollo Global Management.&nbsp;
What Else: Retailers are reporting demand is slowing, with Kohl's Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) CEO Ashley Buchanan saying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44262764/kohls-ceo-warns-of-pretty-challenging-environment-for-consumers-expects-value-seeking-to-grow-over-next-3-months">last week</a> that customers making less than $100,000 are now feeling squeezed. 
Many Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) customers "only have enough money for the basic essentials," said CEO Todd Vasos. Meanwhile, sales among higher-income shoppers have picked up as bargain-hunting intensifies. 
Stocks To Watch: Major companies in the retail, automotive and hospitality sectors should be monitored as the health of the U.S. consumer begins to show signs of weakness.&nbsp;

Are US Consumers Starting To Crack? Pessimism, Loan Defaults, Bargain-Hunting Rise

U.S. consumers are feeling the cost of living squeeze amid higher housing costs, slower wage growth and rising unemployment fears, raising concerns about how much longer they can keep <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">spending on discretionary items.</a>
While the labor market has provided a cushion thus far, cracks are emerging, testing the resilience of household budgets and their ability to sustain the broader economy.
In a report released Thursday, Joe Wadford, an economist at the Bank of America Institute, said that while overall consumer spending remains resilient, financial headwinds are mounting—particularly for lower-income consumers.
&#8220;Consumer resilience continues, but cost-of-living increases, slowing wage growth, and unemployment fears are a headwind for some,&#8221; Wadford said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Housing Costs Are Squeezing Budgets</h3>
The biggest challenge for many households is the rising cost of housing, which is hitting lower-income consumers the hardest. According to Bank of America payments data, rent and mortgage payments for this group were up 11% in February compared to the 2023 average, while higher-income customers saw a smaller increase of 9%.
&#8220;It's likely that lower-income consumers are getting hit harder as apartment rental increases spread to less expensive areas,&#8221; the report said. 
Higher-income households may be faring better because &#8220;homeownership tends to skew toward higher-income individuals, and monthly mortgage payments typically do not change over time.&#8221;
For lower-income households, housing is their largest expense, consuming nearly half of their after-tax income, followed by transportation, groceries and utility bills.
&#8220;These expenses account for around 95% of their after-tax income,&#8221; Bank of America data revealed, leaving little room for discretionary spending.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Consumers Have Slightly Cut Back Spending</h3>
Despite rising costs, discretionary spending—on goods such as electronics, travel, and restaurants—has remained relatively stable over the past year. 
Bank of America's payments data shows that while spending on these items has declined compared to two years ago, the rate of decrease has slowed.
&#8220;Customers with lower incomes spent a higher share of their paychecks on necessities and have seen a larger decline in discretionary spending over the past two years than other income cohorts,&#8221; the report said. 
Yet, the report highlighted that the rate of decline has more than halved in the past year, with discretionary spending as a share of total outflows falling by just 0.3 percentage points in February, compared to a 0.8 percentage point decline the previous year.
Discretionary-related stocks have struggled this year. The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>), which tracks major names like Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), and Booking Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKNG#NASDAQ">BKNG</a>), is down 11% year to date, underperforming all other S&amp;P 500 sectors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Labor Market Is Holding Up, But Cracks Are Emerging</h3>
A strong labor market has helped sustain consumer spending so far, but that is not warranted to be the case also in the future.
Households across all income levels have seen post-tax wages and salaries rise year over year. While deposits are declining, &#8220;they're not declining as fast as they were last year,&#8221; according to Bank of America data.
Signs of weakness are emerging. The U.S. unemployment rate stood at 4.1% in February, higher than in previous years, and consumer expectations around job security have deteriorated. 
In its March economic projection, the Federal Reserve upwardly revised the unemployment rate from 4.3% to 4.4% for 2025.
The University of Michigan's Survey of Consumers found that 66% of respondents in March expect unemployment to worsen over the next 12 months—the highest share in the past 10 years.
&#8220;It's 14% higher than it was in the first two months of the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; the report highlighted, suggesting that consumer fears about job losses could soon impact their spending decisions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Home Depot's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Home Depot's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.06%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Behind the Scenes of Home Depot's Latest Options Trends

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped from 3.0% in January to 2.8% in February, below economist expectations of 2.9%. With inflation cooling, the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rate cuts</a> also come into the picture. 
In this backdrop, certain sectors stand to benefit more than others, such as consumer discretionary, technology and real estate. ETFs with exposure to these sectors also stand to benefit from a cooling inflation (and subsequently rate cuts). Below are some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs to consider</a> in this scenario.

1. Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>)
When inflation eases, consumers gain more purchasing power, often leading to higher spending on non-essential goods like apparel, automobiles and entertainment. This benefits the consumer discretionary sector, and consequently XLY.

</ul>
2. Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)
Being majorly capital intensive, lower inflation and interest rates benefit tech stocks. When borrowing costs fall, tech firms can invest more in innovation and expansion, providing a fillip to profits and stock performance. XLK offers wide exposure to the technology sector, making it a parallel beneficiary.

3. iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYR#NYSE">IYR</a>)
The real estate sector often thrives in a low-interest-rate environment. Lower mortgage rates can boost housing demand, while real estate investment trusts (REITs), which typically carry high debt levels, can enjoy cheaper finance operations. IYR provides exposure to U.S. real estate companies and REITs.

</ul>
Economic Backdrop
Inflation cooled in February, a breather investors who had a lot to worry about in the past few weeks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44285648/wall-street-rebounds-as-cooling-inflation-draws-tech-dip-buyers-whats-driving-markets-wednesday">headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped</a> from 3.0% in January to 2.8% in February, below economist expectations of 2.9%. This marked the first decline after four months of increasing price pressures. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, also moderated, coming in at 3.1% year-over-year, down from 3.3% in January.
These developments reinforce the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44274165/inflation-cools-more-than-expected-in-february-strengthens-the-case-for-fed-rate-cuts">likelihood of cutting interest rates</a> in 2025. Now, economic growth is projected to slow in the first quarter and investment banks have revised GDP forecasts downward, with the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model predicting a potential 2.4% contraction. This strengthens expectations for rate cuts, as evident from CME FedWatch Tool survey which shows traders assigning nearly an 80% probability of a reduction by June.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
