So @CJ_Johnson17th tweeted that his annual dividend income is now $102,345.48https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf">

So I wanted to show a hypothetical growth of this for the next 20 years if he added NO MORE MONEY, just DRIP https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💧" title="Tröpfchen" aria-label="Emoji: Tröpfchen">

I will have to assume some values, but let’s get ithttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👊🏻" title="Fisted hand (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Fisted hand (heller Hautton)">

(Thread)

First off, here is his tweet he made today showing proof https://twitter.com/cj_johnson17th/status/1298672418798489603">https://twitter.com/cj_johnso...

Here are my assumptions before I show the calculations

3% dividend yield

$3,411,516 account value (found this by taking dividend income divided by 3% yield)

4% portfolio growth per year

$0 in contributions, only DRIP https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💧" title="Tröpfchen" aria-label="Emoji: Tröpfchen">

Crazy, right?

Remember, this is with NO added contributions other than DRIPhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Errötetes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Errötetes Gesicht">

If @CJ_Johnson17th does this for 10 more years, then at year 30 the balance and dividends may look like

Year 30: $25,072,276.50 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> $752,168.29 in dividends

Remember, all of these numbers are assumed except for his current dividend income

Also, this is all hypothetical growth

Also, I am sure @CJ_Johnson17th will continue to BUY INCOME, so this number may be even biggerhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👊🏻" title="Fisted hand (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Fisted hand (heller Hautton)">
