So if you guys been following along in the investing world, a lot of people have been trying to retire off of their dividends portfolio alone to see how long it would take for them to retire and live off of their dividends. Well, I've been growing my dividend portfolio for about a year now. And so far on a yearly basis, I'm going to bring in around $467. I know that's a lot of a lot. I use trackmydividends.com in order to track all of my dividends. It's going to tell me when I get paid out, how much I'm going to get paid and how much I'm going to make yearly off of my dividend portfolio. I'm going to leave my link in the descriptions to trackyourdividends.com. It's completely free to sign up. They do have a paid version if you want to have access to more of their tools. But if you guys just want to sign up and track your dividends, it's completely free and the link is down in the description. So like I said, I'm bringing in around $467 of dividends alone this year from growing my portfolio in a little over a year. I invest $200 every single week into the stock market and I buy dividend stocks growing my dividend income every single week. In order for me to find out where can I retire off of my dividend income right now, all you have to do is go to Google, type in average income per household for each country, and then they'll bring up the average income for that country in this list right here. And as you guys can see, if we order it from the most expensive places to live to the cheapest places to live, I can't retire anywhere. I can't retire anywhere not yet. So I'm going to continue to grow my portfolio. It's a cool little neat trick that I use to trick my mind, trick my mindset to keep investing into the stock market until I eventually retire where I want to retire. So the top three most expensive places to live is Lexingburg, Norway, and Sweden. With the United States coming in at number six, it's the sixth most expensive place to live on earth. So in this video, we're going to forget how much do you have to have invested into the stock market in order to retire in the United States. And also since I'm so far away from retiring in Sweden or Norway, we're going to look at two other places that I would probably like to retire, which is Portugal and Mexico. We're going to find out how expensive it is to live in those countries and how much money I need invested into the stock market in order to retire in all three countries. The dividend stock that we're going to use in this video is AT&T, tickle symbol T. It's in the S&P 500 and it has a dividend yield of 6.88%. They pay around $2.05 per share annually on their dividends. Right now, there are dividend aristocrats. That mean they have increased their dividend payouts for the last 25 years every single year. In fact, AT&T is on the 36th year of increasing their dividends. So they're well on their way of becoming dividend kings. Dividend kings are companies that are in the S&P 500 that has increased their dividends over the last 50 years. So AT&T has increased their 36 years. So they have a little ways to go in order to become dividend kings, but I think that is their goal in order to reach the dividend king status to become part of the elite dividend groups. Right now AT&T is around $29.95. So we're going to use this stock which is a pretty good stock, a great dividend stock in order to see how much money do we need invested into the stock market in order to retire in the countries of your choosing. The first country we're going to look at is the United States of America, the USA. The average income household is around $43,500 per household. So that's how much you need to make off your dividends in order to retire in the United States to live a somewhat comfortable life. A lot of people would like to make much more than $60,000, $70,000 per year retiring off their dividends, but you can live in United States off of $43,500 and retire with that money and live a somewhat comfortable life. So in order to make $43,000 per year from investing to AT&T, you would need 20,954 shares and with each share you're going to make around $2.08 per share, meaning that you will have to invest $627,500 into AT&T in order to accumulate that many shares in order to retire in the United States of America. The next place on the list is Portugal. I see a lot of dividends investors starting the fire challenge in order to retire in Portugal. It's a pretty cool city. They have pretty beaches, cheap food, cheap houses, and it's an amazing beautiful sight to see over in Portugal. In Portugal, the average income household makes around $16,000 per year. So it's a big drop off from the United States, but you'll be able to live comfortably over in Portugal with pretty sights and pretty beaches and it's much cheaper to live over there. So that's why a lot of people are choosing to retire over there because it's kind of easier to get your portfolio to the state to where you can make $16,000 per year and dividends along. So using the same formula, we're going to take AT&T and invest all our money into this one company to see how many shares we would need to live in Portugal. Compared to the United States where you need over 20,000 shares, in Portugal you will only need 7,781 shares. So it's a dramatic decrease. It's a big difference in order to retire in another country than it is to retire in America. 7,781 shares come out to be around $233,000. So you need to invest $233,000 into your stock portfolio into AT&T with a 6.88% dividend yield in order to retire in Portugal. I find that's somewhat believable. I could save up over the next 5, 10, 15 years in order to get my portfolio to $233,000, invest that into AT&T and retire in Portugal in the next couple of years, well before I'm 50 years old. So that is why a lot of people are choosing to retire in Portugal. In the next country on the list is a place down very interesting and the beautiful country of Mexico, Mexico baby, it only costs $11,000 to retire in Mexico. $11,000 is the average income. So to be exact it's $11,680 according to Google. Now living in Mexico is a big difference in between living inland in Mexico and living in Cabo. I really want to retire in Cabo right there on the beaches, on the love bridge, on the love beach. Cabo is an amazing place to visit that I really would like to retire in. I know the price is going to be completely different than the average income of Mexico, but right now we're just going to take the average income of Mexico and use the same formula to see how much it would cost to retire in Mexico. So in Mexico you will only need $5,615 shares of AT&T in order to retire in Mexico. That is $168,000. A lot of people spend more than that on cars. I don't understand how they spend that much on cars, but they spend that on cars. Maybe that's what they're very interested in is cars, but a lot of people spend over $168,000 per year on stuff. I could see myself growing my portfolio and in the next couple of years in order to get to $168,000 invested into AT&T. By the time I do that AT&T is going to be a dividend king and I'll be able to retire on the lovely beach of Cabo. So yeah guys to sum that up I use trackyourdividends.com.
