Bogle On Favoring Dividends And Capitalizing Social Security

I continue to be surprised by things that John Bogle is saying about the importance of income planning for retirement. Bogle, of course, is the founder of The Vanguard Group, Inc., the largest mutual fund organization in the world. Vanguard comprises approximately 170 mutual funds with current assets totaling more than $2 trillion. The Vanguard 500 Index Fund, the largest fund in the group, founded by Bogle in 1975, was the first index mutual fund.

Bogle has been giving a series of interviews to Morningstar. After an interview in July, I wrote an article about his views on retirement income. In it, I expressed surprise that he was reinforcing several themes that most dividend growth investors believe in. My surprise emanates from the fact that Bogle is a staunch indexer, and I had not heard before of his emphasis on retirement income.
