I am feeling a bit lonely, though. I just posted a detailed [and somewhat eloquent :-))] defense of DGI on Fidelity Community Investor forum, where living off dividend income was deemed "wrong" and worse. The Fidelity forum can be pretty hard for me to take, so I find some solace here.

Unfortunately, DGI is not well understood outside of the investors who practice it. It is more of an art than a science. Growth is most certainly a component both in terms of income and capital appreciation. There were many investors who lost significant sums during the market downturns (2000 & 2008). The DGI investors who didn't panic did very well.

You may not have received any solace there but you can laugh all the way to the bank.
