Guess I see it as income versus growth. Of course you don't have to look far to see this sliced and diced
repeatedly. Both are dependent on how things work out.

PG was growth until it wasn't. I am not planning on selling theirs, but at my age, it was out the door.

As they get older, I see their accounts becoming more like my own. A place to be able to dip into
supplemental income without having to sell anything. For me that means the amount of the income is more
important than the size of the account. With the girls, there is just no rush.

Many times the biggest increases come off the lowest yields, actually adding few real dollars, and no
guarantee that the raises will continue.

We really only have hindsight, but their are stocks that wouldn't hit a true dividend investors screen, have
higher yields and COULD work out better in the long run:

BGS has run up, but still yields 3.91% and over the last seven years has a dividend growth cagr of 13.79%.

TIS is also up, yields 4.4% and has a five year dividend growth cagr of 28.47%.

JNJ yields 2.84% and just raises 6.7%, and has a five year average of 6.85%.

Personally, I would put my girls in either of the first two before buying something like JNJ. ( they already own it )
