When I was 30 years old, I had about 6 years of investing experience under my belt. But my returns then was heading nowhere. I was failing mainly because I was trying a lot of different things. One day, I decided to tell myself: It is time not to mess around anymore and try one method that I feel goes best with my character. Then I doubled down on the path chosen. I lean towards investing for dividends. And what a friend said about respecting value makes sense. So I doubled down on value investing with a focus on finding dividend-paying companies. I have been doing that since then, and regular readers would know where to check how I am doing. Why Should We Invest with a Tilt Towards Dividends? Dividend investing has a lot of appeals.
