[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our goal is to build generational wealth. We want to leave as much of the capital to our kids as possible, not spend it down. In order to live on the dividends only, the capital needs to be a lot more than 5M. Choice of stocks depends on whether you favor a growth portfolio, where dividends will be very small compared to stock price, or whether you wish to max out dividends immediately, in which case you pick stocks with low potential for growth but high returns. [/quote] I’m sure I agree with leaving most of your capital with kids. We should have a a sizeable estate by the time we are in our 50s. We plan to only leave about 25% to our heirs. They’ve had plenty of opportunities to earn their own keep and we feel it will make them better human beings. [/quote] Good for you. Others disagree.[/quote]
