My opinion?

DRIP is legit.

Every time you get paid in dividends

You buy more shares of the company you own

And this will compound over time

Remember last week? (If not, better review)

This is the compound effect in action

Lets do an example..

Let’s say you buy 100 shares of XYZ @ $10/share = $1000
(Assume 5% annual yield)

1 year:
You get $50 in dividends
Now have 105 shares = $1050

5 years:
You get $63.81 in dividends
Now have 127.63 shares = $1276.28

Oh, it gets better..

Let’s continue..

10 years:
You get $81.44 in dividends
Now have 162.89 shares = $1628.89

25 years:
You get $169.32 in dividends
Now have 338.64 shares = $3386.35

You want to know the best part?

You didn’t do ANYTHING to make more money

This is called
