Hello! I am looking for a Dividend ETF fund that eventually can be a mutual fund that can provide passive income during retirement. There's so much out there ranging from Growth to Value to things like REITS, etc. I hear even individual stocks are great like J&J or 3M. But individual stocks scare me due to the lack of diversification and risk.
My time horizon is about 7-8 years before retiring. I will be receiving a pension that will cover around 85% of my living expenses, possibly more. I would like to utilize the dividends to supplement my remaining expenses.
I have around 20K in Wellesley; 15k in Wellington; and about 4k in VTSAX.
I do know the 3 funds I have does provide some level of dividends. Is it wise to choose a fund that is specific to dividends (like VIG or VOO?) or does the 3 I already have provide enough in the future?
How much is enough? $300+ a month would be a target.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
