If you want to manage your stock market investments yourself, there is a website called 'Seeking Alpha' that I find to be very informative. Many different investment advisors offer their services on that site. Many specialize in dividend paying stocks. Some services must be subscribed to for a fee, while others are free. All the services offer a trial subscription. I personally subscribe to the 'iREIT on Alpha' service by Brad Thomas and find it to be helpful in finding good companies in various industries that offer dividends to boost my income.

Banks pay almost nothing for your dollar deposit. Where is anyone supposed to get yield these days?

Maybe the dollar is close to worthless as it is because it pays nothing as a deposit. Seems to me just better off finding high quality equities. Berkshire Hathaway is the most stable amongst the high quality equities per Value Line.
What did the CFP say when you asked those questions??

LEts take DEVON energy DVN the stock is up over 150 % over the last year up 27% YTD which is a huge gain for just 2 months and pays 7.3% dividend with an ex day of 3 /11. Its breakeven price for a barrel of oil is $30 and oil is close to 100 today..others are like VIPER EXXON etc...

Dividend Stock
 
QYLD has been paying between .18-.22 a month for a few years.
Not bad for a $20 stock

I also agree seeking alpha website is a good resource

Like a sin stock ? Altria (MO) sports a good one.. Tons of others in the 4-6% range.. Do some homework and pick five or ten in different industries.. Look for ones that have increased their dividend for 20 or 25 years .. that will answer your other question
Also DEVON DVN up over 150 % pays 7 %

At its current price ATT (T) is paying 8.7%. For a list of companies that have maintained or increased their dividends for 25 years or better just Google "Dividend Aristocrats"

With the ~50% loss in value, do you see a dividend cut coming??? Wouldn't surprise me.

After they complete the spin-off of Warner Media to Discovery I wouldn't be surprised if they cut.

How about good old Verizon. It’s paying just under 5%. And also banks are not paying anything but I don’t hear you complaining about very low interest rates like mortgages. They are all tied together.

Not Really.................Most are selling off the mortgages, rather than holding them like the old days.

Berkshire does not pay dividends, despite being a large, mature, and stable firm. Retained earnings are used to fund new ventures, acquisitions, and investments by the organization.

Thinking of people learning from a magazine not getting stocktips.
