Investors are often told that they can safely withdraw 4% of their portfolios upon retirement to help fund their living expenses. While doing so typically requires selling off assets, there are some dividend stocks that currently yield more than 4%. Filling your portfolio with these types of stocks could make it possible for you to live off your dividend income alone, thereby reducing the need to decide which assets to sell -- and when. If that sounds appealing, read on to learn about two quality stocks that can help satisfy your income requirements.
Realty Income (NYSE:O) is particularly well suited as an income investment thanks to its nifty monthly dividend payout schedule. In fact, the real estate investment trust notes on its website that the company was founded in 1969 for the express purpose of providing "investors with monthly dividends that increase over time." In addition to REITs, the telecom sector is another area where investors often turn for low-risk, income-producing stocks. That's because the industry tends to lend itself to subscription-based revenue streams and stable cash flows -- two areas where telecom titan Verizon (NYSE:VZ) excels.
