Passive income. It's the holy grail for a lot of people out there. Unlike the holy grail, though, passive income is very attainable for everyday people. Even enough passive income to live off of. I'd know.

I was in debt at 27 years old. But by living well below my means and consistently and aggressively investing my savings into high-quality dividend growth stocks, I achieved financial freedom at only 33 years old.

What's that mean? Well, my passive dividend income was enough to cover my basic expenses in life. And that meant I didn't really have to have a job anymore.

Now, "financial freedom" in purely dollar terms is different for everyone. That's because everyone has different needs and lifestyles. But $1,000 per month in purely passive dividend income is a great start. And that's enough of a foundation to unlock a good amount of financial freedom in anyone's life. Today, I want to tell you how to make $1,000 per month in dividends.

Before I get started with the nuts and bolts, let me just say that making $1,000 per month in dividend income is extremely possible for almost anyone out there.

I grew up on welfare. My parents abandoned me when I was a kid. I don't have a college degree. I quit my car dealership day job, which didn't even pay a super high income, at 32 years old.

Yet I personally earn more than $1,000 per month in dividends. So if you say to me, "I can't do it", I'm going to tell you that you're wrong. Because I did it coming from nothing in life. Actually, worse than nothing. I was below broke when I started my journey to financial freedom in my late 20s.

And here I am, financially free in my 30s.

Let me just say that it's fantastic. It's worth whatever so-called "sacrifices" you might have to make. Because I can't think of a bigger sacrifice in life than to go without being financially free. People who have to go to jobs they don't like? To me, that's the sacrifice.

So where do you start? How do you make $1,000 per month in dividends?

Well, you really have to start with a SMART goal. It's an acronym. S.M.A.R.T.

That's specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time-bound.

Put a goal for $1,000 in monthly dividend income together that's SMART. This SMART goal will be specific to you,because we all have different incomes, savings rates, tax rates, family situations, time horizons, risk tolerances, etc. But if you insert all of those specifics within the framework of a SMART goal, you will be able to design a path toward $1,000 per month in dividend income that can be reverse engineered so that you know how to get there and when you'll get there.

A portfolio's value and its yield are simple math. Mastering this math and using this math within the SMART goal framework will tell you exactly what kind of portfolio you have to build in order to produce that $1,000 per month in dividend income.

Let me explain. I'll give you two examples of this math.

A $300,000 portfolio yielding 4% will produce $12,000 per year in dividend income. That's $1,000 per month in dividends.

Likewise, a $400,000 portfolio yielding 3% will also produce $12,000 per year in dividend income. That's also $1,000 per month in dividends.

$300,000 is easier than $400,000. So why not just always go for higher yield?

Well, that's because yield and risk are almost always closely correlated. The higher the yield on your portfolio, the more risk you're taking on. We just put out a video on the AT&T dividend cut (URL: [ Ссылка ]). I've heard from investors who had 10% or more of their portfolios in AT&T, and now they're stressed out and trying to reposition their portfolios.

As I've said so many times, don't chase yield. When you stretch for yield in order to produce more dividend income from less capital, there's no free lunch there. The trade-off is more risk.

Now, that's up to you as to how much risk you're comfortable with.
