Should Your Dividends Be Reinvested—or Taken as Cash?
During retirement, your portfolio may need to perform two different jobs: provide income for today's expenses while keeping part of your money working for tomorrow.
This course gives you a practical framework for deciding what happens when each dividend reaches your account.
One Simple Question:
Do I need this dividend as cash today, or can I allow it to continue growing?
Reinvest eligible distributions and continue adding shares.
Allow distributions to remain available as cash for income.
