My daughter turns 1 year old in about three weeks. As any parent does, I want to ensure she has the best possible opportunities in life down the road. To achieve this, I have begun building her a portfolio of dividend powerhouses that should provide her with a steady, growing income stream so she can be free to pursue whatever her goals might be.
For a high school graduation present, it is my goal to give my daughter a portfolio worth almost $600,000 that earns her over $25,000 a year. This will ensure that she can attend whatever college she would like (debt-free), and give her the best possible opportunities as she heads out into the world. Again, this example is a clear indication of the power of getting started early. You do not need to time the market (and it is pointless to attempt to time the market anyway) to create a powerhouse dividend portfolio. All you need is time -- and there is no time like today to get started!

You and she may want to consider borrowing what she needs for college as needed, use what she needs of the $25,000 annual dividends to pay what she owes after graduating, deduct the student loan interest and not touch any principle AND continue to earn and / or re-invest some or all the dividends while paying and after the tuition is paid.
