We are straying off topic now, but Kiyosaki's books are mostly elementary common sense, nothing mysterious, earth moving, or dramatic, but I was taken by his "river of cash" description which is why I quoted it. It also goes without saying that your expenditure should be less than your income.Charles Dickens made that point in the 19th century.
Lewylewy has made the point.

And it's been Fungus Pudding's mantra for over 50 years 'learn to live below your means'. Amen.

Why go for a high dividend/lower capital growth portfolio when you could go for a lower dividend/higher capital growth portfolio and not pay tax and sell off some shares every year or so?

Best to have both.

If you go for a decent dividend then you should be able to kark it with all investments still intact. Someone will thank-you for it.

Taxcinda and her friends (aka the Tax Working Group) currently appear to be dreaming up ways to make sure your suggestion is not a goer...

If you go for decent capital growth, your $500,000 might turn into $1,000,000 instead of high dividends staying at $500,000. Someone will also thank you.

Good point but i suspect a bit harder to pick than big dividend earners. Might being the operative word.

Not so. I think you will find many companies on the NZX that have a long history of growing EPS, dividends and SP. Healthy and growing dividend payers normally see steady SP growth over time as well.
