dividends.
I bought McDonalds about 5 years ago for $72 per share and it's now $275 and pays 6%. Also some utilities have always been good.
I've been retired to 20 years and my dividends pay all all of my bills, phone, cable, heat and electric. Have not had a car payment sense 1983 and in my second paid off home. Sometimes buy my groceries with my credit car and pay that off every month. Have a little hobby business in antiques and break even on that, plus get to write off my mileage.
So nice to not have money worries.
