Dividends Stocks vs. Income Stocks - Financial Freedom, #227

We go to the stock market for various reasons, including generating income, creating a tax shelter via capital gains, and building wealth. Dividend stocks typically fall under the category of dividend growth investing. DGI aims to build a long-term portfolio of stocks that continually increase their dividend payments. Income stocks usually fall under the category of income investing. The goal of income investing is current income.
You purchase a stock and want it to pay you immediately. Income investing will assist you through life today, while DGI is excellent for building wealth for tomorrow.  I love income investing because it can help solve my money issues now. My DGI portfolio can help me when I get much older. The key to financial success is understanding how to leverage both strategies in your favor. Good Luck!
