My name is Jake. My wife and I reached Barista F.I.R.E. in 2023 at the age of 37.
JL Collins pioneered the idea of investing into VTSAX (VTI) as the simple path to wealth. Inspired by JL Collins, I created the simple path to wealth with dividend investing to reach financial independence. I believe those seeking to live off of a dividend portfolio should adopt a similar approach as suggested by JL Collins. My take on the simple path to wealth with dividend investing is to buy SCHD/DGRO, buy as much as you can whenever you can and hold them forever.
