How To Make $100,000 Dollars In Dividends
from Limitless
What if someone told you that making $100,000 per year from dividends requires way more money than you think? That's exactly what happened when we sat down to break down the real numbers behind dividend investing in Jamaica.Most people dream about getting those sweet dividend payments rolling into their bank accounts every quarter. But here's the wake up call: with a 5% dividend yield, you need roughly $2 million Jamaican dollars just to see $100,000 per year. And that's before the government takes their 15% cut.In this episode, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms pull back the curtain on dividend investing. We walk through actual calculations, reveal which JSE stocks pay the highest yields (spoiler: it's not always the ones you expect), and share personal stories about what we actually did with our first dividend checks. From buying computer parts to paying speeding tickets, these small payments taught us bigger lessons about money and investing.We explore companies like Trans Jamaica Highway, Carreras, and Wigton Energy, breaking down their yields and what kind of capital you'd really need to make dividends work for you. Plus, Preston shares a powerful lesson about trusting your own investment thesis, even when everyone around you thinks you're being delusional.Whether you're sitting on $50,000 or $5 million, this episode will change how you think about passive income and dividend investing.🔗 STAY CONNECTED & LISTEN TO MORE EPISODES🎧 Listen to more episodes:https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com💰 Support the podcast:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1971039/support🐥 Follow us on Twitter:https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/💲 Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount👍 If this episode helped you understand dividends better, please like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this!❓ How much dividend income are you currently earning?
