When it comes to planning for your retirement with dividend stocks, one thing stands out: You need to buy first class companies that have a decent shot at producing many years of dividend growth in your accumulation phase. Dividend growth is of fundamental importance because, over time, the purchasing power of your dollars is being eroded by inflation. Naturally, in almost every economy, prices rise over long periods of time because input prices such as labor costs increase, which in turn cause higher prices for consumers.
It is of utmost importance to consider inflation as a negative variable affecting your retirement savings. A good way to counter the effect of inflation is by buying companies that have a history of growing earnings and dividends to the benefit of shareholders. In addition, companies that have historically produced dividend growth over long periods of time are especially likely to continue their run and, therefore, offer investors a great way for saving up for retirement where the odds are tilted in their favor: Wells Fargo (NYSE: WF), Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Prospect Capital (NASDAQ: PSEC).
