Time for an update guys. I was pushing to get to the 50k mark by now but the start of this month some bills came out of the account and pulled it down. As you can see I'm sitting at $45K and all bills are paid. I have 2 more pay checks coming this month so I expect to hit that $50k before the end of the month. Dividend income is up to $26k a year, with monthly dividends being around $2K. All you need to do is follow the instructions and get yourself set up to live out of your Brokerage account.
