I use dividend stocks primarily to motivate me in times when growth stocks are not doing so well. It is a purely psychological effect for me that when I know that my growth stocks are only going down in book value, but in parallel a dividend arrives in the account every now and then. For this reason, only part of my portfolio consists of dividend stocks.

@Staatsmann I would also add that dividends represent additional income to the existing salary even without (partial) sales and thus also promise a little bit of freedom emotionally without having to sell parts of the portfolio in order to realize the return compared to the purchase. Even for players who are as non-emotional as possible, this is still an emotional story somewhere.
