My Favorite Thing About Dividend Stocks

Other than the wonderful compounding affect that will make me a wealthier man when I retire, the thing I enjoy most about dividend stocks is that they allow me to be lazy. Granted I do put in a lot of time evaluating a stock before I invest, but once I buy a quality dividend growth company I can relax while that company's employees work hard to put more and more cash in my pocket.

I was on a nice, relaxing vacation last week. I checked in on the market a couple of times out of curiosity and even checked my work email once, but otherwise my mind was elsewhere. I didn't want to think about work and ruin a relaxing moment. I knew I didn't have to worry about my investments because my money was invested in companies who are working hard on my behalf. And wouldn't you know it, when I returned home I discovered that, KA-CHING!, I got two more fat raises.
