After retirement, investment priorities change a little bit. You don't care as much about growth as you do about income. And you don't care as much about your investments being exciting as much as you care about stability and consistency, and keeping up with inflation. Here are three excellent examples of great retirement investments that can produce income and growth, while allowing you to sleep at night knowing your money is secure.
The "Dividend Aristocrats" are a group of stocks that have increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. There is no shortage to choose from: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), AT&T (NYSE: T) and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). A common mistake investors make is equating the word "stocks" with "risk," but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. A well-constructed stock portfolio can give you income, growth, and peace of mind for decades to come.
