Everyone says you need $1 million or more to generate $3,000/month in dividends. What if it was actually less than half that? Today I build three portfolios that all deliver $3,000/month — with three very different price tags.
Three approaches to the same $3,000/month target: the traditional way (dividend growth + bonds), the alternative way (blending dividend quality with option income), and the aggressive way (maximum yield, more risk).
