I'm trying to get an idea of what a reasonable "yield" is on my investment portfolio. By that I mean income (dividend & interest) over value (not yield on cost) of your overall investment portfolio (which for me excludes emergency cash and checking account balance). Last year my yield was just below 2%. That sounds reasonable to me because I am still 10 years from our FIRE goal and I am 70/30 stocks/fixed income. I have no particular focus on dividend stocks or high income investments.
In the future, I would like to get more income from our portfolio, so I'm curious what other people have been able to achieve.
Thanks in advance.
