How a Dividend Darling Is Paying for My Early Retirement”

They say love finds you when you least expect it. For me, it wasn’t a person—it was a dividend ETF called MSTY. While most people chase fairy tales, I chased yield. And this month, that pursuit brought in a dreamy $5,770 straight into my brokerage account. A payment not just in dollars, but in peace of mind.

It all began with a plan and a little courage. Over time, I built up a position—2,431 shares strong—in MSTY. It wasn’t glamorous in the beginning, just consistent. But now? MSTY is my financial soulmate. That monthly distribution covers my mortgage, utility bills, and lifestyle expenses—with room to reinvest into more shares and even flirt with a new love: QQQI, a high-octane 14.99% APR monthly payer that’s ready to diversify my portfolio.

I’m not just living—I’m living free. No 9-to-5. No stress. Just the sweet rhythm of monthly income rolling in like clockwork. And with the extra cash, I’m setting my sights on real estate—another asset to build a lasting legacy and create generational wealth.

If this MSTY ride holds steady, the dream becomes bigger than just mine. It becomes a model—a love story between strategy, discipline, and financial freedom. I call it early retirement. Others might just call it living the dream.
