Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I actually don't focus on income at all.... I focus on total return (IRR)... and i don't particularly care what portions of the return is interest, dividends, realized gains or unrealized gains.
If I look at what funds our living expenses it is about 25% from dividends and capital gain distributions from taxable accounts that we take in cash and 75% proceeds from the sale of taxable investments. However, of that 75% probably 80% is basis and 20% are realized gains.
Any dividends and interest on tax-deferred or tax-free accounts is reinvested.
