Pure motivation

🚀 Motivation $ISPA (+0.4%) pure: Dividend ETFs are like a money tree in your portfolio 🌳💸 - you plant it once and it produces cash flow year after year. Regardless of whether prices fluctuate or the market causes drama: the dividend rings reliably in your account.


It's like swimming training:

It feels tough at first, length after length, day after day. But you get stronger with every stroke.

However, a look at the chart is rather demotivating

I will probably never understand the psychology of why a forced profit distribution should be more motivating than clean capital growth.

When my overall portfolio has achieved its target return of 1.5%pM, I'm happy. That motivates me. 🤷

Until you realize that there was no water in the pool. CAGR over the last 20 years: 5.9%. Pathetic.
I have opted for accumulation ETFs for tax reasons. I like to receive X€ every few years, but not to pay it later when I file a tax return.

The accumulation ETF follows the same pattern, it grows a little more than the other, and when you sell, you get the same or a little more.

At the same time, dividends are also bad if you want to build up money, which many people want. Accumulating ETFs reinvest the dividends immediately. Without taxes being deducted. This is not the case with distributing ETFs
