One thing most of us need in retirement -- besides hobbies and senior-citizen discounts -- is income. Once you stop working and your paychecks stop arriving, you'll need some money coming in with which to pay bills and live a comfortable life.

Dividends are also a great retirement income source, and they have the terrific habit of being increased over time, too, when they're coming from healthy, growing companies. Imagine, for example, that your $300,000 investment account is kicking out $6,000 in dividends to you this year. That's an overall yield of about 2% -- not bad! But if those payouts are upped by an overall annual average of 5% over a decade, they'll approach $9,800 in 10 years.
