<h1>Here is Exactly Why I Will Retire with 100% Stocks in My Portfolio</h1>
<p>I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. Now, I create financial content to help you navigate your investments without added costs.</p>

<h2>1. Investing in Stocks</h2>
<p>My strategy involves investing 100% of my money in stocks, utilizing either a blue-chip dividend fund or individual dividend stocks, with an expectation of at least a 3% annual dividend yield.</p>

<h2>2. Living Off My Portfolio</h2>
<p>Since I can't rely solely on a 3% yield during my go-go golden years, I plan to sell an additional 4% of my stocks at the beginning of each year. That puts me at a 7% annual income.</p>

<h2>3. Historical Returns</h2>
<p>Historically, stocks have returned about 8% in real terms. With this plan, my portfolio is likely to triple over the next 15 years. The initial 3% dividend will easily cover my annual expenses.</p>

<h2>4. Market Downturns</h2>
<p>For those concerned about market downturns—like a 25% drop in the first year of retirement—consider this: If I don’t sell and stick to my plan, in 20 years, I will have only doubled the value of my portfolio.</p>

<p>If any of this is helpful, please like and follow for more insights, and I’ll continue to guide you on your financial journey.</p>
