This road trip will be my final as a US Marine. The last 24 years flew by in a blur of desert and humidity.

Now it's time to live on the passive income I discussed for the last three years. Our first step is to use dividends to supplement my retirement income.

Dividends are the most passive type of passive income. However, they require a massive cash outlay to produce a significant paycheck.

Therefore we must start early and often to build an extensive enough portfolio to replace our earned income. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Good Luck!
