A Fed voter says rates may rise, and my income ladder just laughed. $JEPI still drops 7.91% monthly, $DIVO 6.15%, $SCHD growing 2.99% underneath.

10-year at 4.64% is the floor I'm laddering over — snowball's at $2,890.

I'm not an investing expert — always open to advice.

The plan: higher-risk income now, reinvested into a growing dividend base.

Who's on a similar path?

10-year sitting at 4.70%, curve normal (+0.46). What that means for the snowball:

- higher yields = new money buys more income
- calm VIX (15.4) keeps CloudAi steady, 64% green today
- profits keep flowing to $SCHD

Higher rates: friend or enemy of your dividend build? Not…

Month 18 of my journey to retire at 45.

CloudAI is the money machine — higher risk, passive income.
Profits fund the safer dividend portfolio.

Still learning. Still building.

Dividend investing isn't about one big win.

It's small deposits that compound into passive income.

Slow is fine. Slow still gets there.

The snowball just crossed $2,869.

Milestone I keep coming back to: the ladder pays no matter the tape. 10-year at 4.74%, VIX calm at 15.8, and $JEPQ (10.90% yield, monthly) still cuts a check. $SCHD (2.99%) grows the base.

What rung are you building right now?

I ❤️ $GPIQ ….

[John ProV1 👨‍💻 @JohnProv1]

💵 50K invested in $SCHD pays $4.32 in dividends daily

💵 50K invested in $GPIX pays $11.11 in dividends daily

💵 50K invested in $GPIQ pays $13.86 in dividends daily

💵 50K invested in $OVL pays $14.33 in dividends daily

10-yr at 4.69%, curve normal (10s–2s +0.50). Here's how my ladder reacts:

• $JEPQ 10.90% — covered-call premium, monthly paycheck
• $SCHD 2.99% — the slow grower, quarterly

Higher yields pressure prices but juice the income. Snowball's at $2,848.

Which side you leaning…

Higher-risk tech income → safer dividends → retire at 45.

Two engines, one plan:
a higher-risk engine for growth, a dividend layer for cash flow.

The dividends are the part I never want to sell.

How do you split growth vs income?

Two dividend holdings, two totally different jobs:

$IDV — 5.05% yield, quarterly, international value. My hedge against a US-heavy book.

$SCHD — 2.99% yield, quarterly, but it's a payout GROWER. The raise engine.

With the 10-year at 4.69%, I'm not chasing yield. I'm…

[Dividend Journey @MyDivJourney]

"Rising rates kill dividend payers" — the myth I keep hearing with the 10-year at 4.69%.

But my $SCHD (2.99% yield) and $IDV (5.05%, quarterly) don't care about the tape. VIX 15.1, curve normal at +0.50.

The snowball's at $2,848 either way.

Do rates change how you buy…

[Dividend Journey @MyDivJourney]

The 10-year sits at 4.69% and everyone's crowding into $SCHD and $IDV.

I hold both — but here's the part nobody talks about: they're my two lowest yields in the ladder. $SCHD 2.99%, $IDV 5.05%, quarterly.

The monthly rungs pay the bills. These two grow.

Snowball's at $2,848.…
