3 Dividend Stocks That Can Help You Retire Early

The pandemic has interrupted not just people's lives but also their retirement plans. A study from Edward Jones and Age Wave recently found that one in three Americans are now planning to delay retirement because of the impact COVID-19 has had on them. Unexpected expenses were also cited as one of the biggest concerns for retirees.

One way to improve your financial position and your prospects for early retirement is by investing in dividend stocks. Companies that steadily pay dividends generally have stable businesses, and they can deliver not just recurring income but also capital gains as they rise in value. Three stocks worth considering for your portfolio today -- each of which has an excellent track record for paying and increasing dividends -- are Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH), McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA).
