Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 250 (November 22, 2025)

It is interesting to investigate what motivates investors to invest in the stock market. Do they believe that once their portfolio achieves a specific dollar amount the they will the be "wealthy". Will they recognize that spending money unnecessarily and thoughtlessly can quickly destroy the wealth they may have spent years accumulating. The reality is that if you spend all you earn, you are not getting wealthier, you are just living high.

How much do ego and envy influence the spending habits of investors? Hopefully this week's podcast may help you with your investment priorities.

I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends . I have been successfully investing this way for more than twenty years . My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing six figure income but over time has continued to increase the value of my portfolio by many multiples.
