In a world filled with many lies, I believe that dividend stock investing is a truth investors can rely upon (when done via highquality companies in a broadlydiversified portfolio). Today's video shares my personal experiences in life. Learn why I believe that dividend investing is one of the only ways that the average person can build longterm, lasting value in life (which I believe is a key to happiness).

0:00 INTRODUCTION
0:38 A BIG LIE (The Job as a Religion)
1:17 The feeling of building value (But was it really lasting?)
1:55 KEY: It's always important to do your absolute best work.
2:14 PERSPECTIVE: Many of the projects I worked on in my early years are completely obsolete.
3:17 Most of the projects that people worked on at this hypothetical company (green squares) are crossed out in red because they are completely irrelevant at this time. People may have thought they created permanent value, but that is not necessarily true.
3:45 I worked at a startup that was acquired for over $1 billion. Now, the company's website does not work anymore.
4:14 KEY: Humans want to build value that lasts. That value does not always come via jobs/projects.
4:52 MOVING FROM EMPLOYEE CLASS TO INVESTOR CLASS
5:08 Diversified Portfolio of worldclass, dividendpaying stocks (maybe even ETFs)
5:58 KEY: A diversified portfolio of dividendpaying stocks can last FOREVER.
7:12 I believe the creation of lasting value is key to happiness in life.
7:55 In some industries the work is longlasting. That's why I love being a Real Estate Developer by profession.
8:36 I have found in the tech industry that projects/work can be shortlived in value.
8:52 Silver Lining: Even at a low longterm value job, the relationships we build can last forever.
9:20 LIES THAT WE ARE TOLD (HARD TRUTHS WE NEED TO REALIZE)
9:44 KEY: I'm not trying to cause dismay. However, I think it's important to realize the hard truths, so we can focus on those actives that add value and happiness.
11:10 DIVIDEND STOCK INVESTING A TRUTH IN TODAY’S CRAZY WORLD (When held in highquality companies in a diversified manner)
11:31 THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE (My Life Plan)
12:17 DIVIDENDS ARE FOR EVERYONE
12:26 True passive income
12:36 A welldiversified, highquality portfolio can last forever in my opinion.
13:17 Replace active income, possibly in total
13:48 I'm proud of my dividend portfolio. I hold it dearly, and look at it as my legacy.
