I’m taking a step closer to financial freedom with dividend shares

I’m buying dividend shares today so that when I retire, I can live off the passive income. The end goal is to be financially free.

Financial freedom will have a different meaning for everyone. For me, I want to be able to enjoy my later life and use the nest egg I’ve built over the years to supplement that.

Around 75% of my portfolio consists of shares that have a dividend yield of 4%, or higher.
