    Two Paths to Value: Short-Term Yield vs. Long-Term Growth in Distressed Markets

    More on dividend growth investing  -> Join our market newsletter!  While dividend growth remains the core of what we do, it's not the only path to building an income stream. In times of market distress, opportunities emerge that are simply too compelling to ignore. When venturing into troubled waters, the key is to stay disciplined and unemotional. Volatility may test you, but the potential rewards can be worth it. In this episode, Greg explores two distinct approaches to finding value from an income perspective. In the first half, he discusses business development corporations (BDCs), which often offer eye-catching yields north of 10%. Using Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp. ($OCSL) as a case study, he unpacks how BDCs are structured, where their income potential comes from, and why they carry above-average risk. More importantly, he shares why patience and preparation are key to capturing value when these high-yield opportunities go on sale. In the second half, we shift gears back to a more traditional name for dividend growth investors. Greg introduces Sysco Corp. ($SYY), a 50-year dividend payer in the essential world of food distribution. Unlike the high-yield, high-volatility world of BDCs, Sysco represents steady, well-managed growth with consistent operations. Even though the stock appears to have been in a holding pattern over the past few years, it fits squarely into our 10-year framework. In both cases, price discipline is essential. Topics Covered:01:46 – Introduction to BDCs (Business Development Corporations)05:18 – Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp Case Study 14:57 – Knowing What You Own: Risk and Return in Distressed Markets 16:23 – When and How to Buy BDCs 19:22 – Total Return Recap from a Past Investment in Oaktree 24:37 – Transition to Traditional Dividend Growth: Enter Sysco Corp 28:17 – The 10-Year Model: Can Sysco Double? 30:08 – Margin & Capital Efficiency Strengths 32:52 – Comparison to Competitors 35:05 – Valuation and Price-to-Sales History 35:29 – Risks: Cyclicality & Debt Load 38:58 – Why a “Boring” Food Distributor Might Outperform 41:39 – Wrapping Up: Patience, Price, and Knowing What You Own Send us a textSchedule a meeting with us -> Financial Planning & Portfolio Management If you submit a question to us and we use it in an episode, we will send you an official The Dividend Mailbox Yeti® Tumbler -> Email us at ethan@growmydollar.com.Notes & Resources:DCM Investment Reports & ModelsVisit our website to learn more about our investment strategy and wealth management services.Follow us on:Instagram - Facebook - LinkedIn - XIf you enjoy the show, we'd greatly appreciate it if you subscribe and leave a review

    What To Do When Someone Dies

    In this episode, we tackle a difficult but crucial topic: what to do when someone passes away. While it's not a conversation most people want to have, planning ahead can save significant stress and confusion for those left behind.We start with the immediate steps that need to be taken. First, a legal pronouncement of death is required, which is usually handled by hospital or hospice staff, but in cases of a home passing, 911 or hospice must be called. Then, notifying immediate family and close friends becomes a priority. This can be overwhelming, so enlisting help to spread the word is essential. Arranging transportation of the body, securing the deceased's home and belongings, and taking care of any pets are also critical early tasks.Next, we move into handling financial and legal matters. Obtaining multiple copies of the death certificate is key, as most financial institutions require them. Locating the will or estate documents helps determine whether probate is necessary. If the deceased's assets were solely in their name, probate is likely required. However, if assets were jointly owned or placed in a trust, probate may be avoided. It's important to notify key institutions—banks, investment custodians, mortgage lenders, pension providers, Social Security, and credit card companies—to avoid complications like continued payments that may need to be repaid.Probate can be a time-consuming and public legal process, so we discuss three common scenarios:If assets are solely owned, probate is required to legally transfer them.If assets are jointly owned, probate is not needed, and the co-owner retains full ownership.If a trust is in place, assets can be distributed per the trust's instructions without probate, saving time and legal fees.After probate (or if it's not required), the final steps include distributing personal belongings and assets, closing remaining accounts, and handling final taxes. Supporting family members emotionally and financially is also critical, as unexpected financial burdens can arise even with the best planning.The best way to ease this process is by planning ahead. Having an updated will or trust, maintaining a list of financial accounts and key documents, using a password vault, and discussing final wishes with loved ones can help ensure a smooth transition. Regularly reviewing beneficiary designations on accounts and property is also essential to prevent unintended complications.While this is a difficult conversation, taking steps now can relieve significant stress later. If you need guidance, Thimbleberry Financial can help. To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

Sharad shares his remarkable journey from working as an accountant to becoming a successful real estate investor and entrepreneur. After flipping over 800 properties and managing a portfolio of 60 free-and-clear rental units, Sharad realized the need for a more efficient way to run his business. This insight led him to develop REsimpli, an all-in-one software solution designed to streamline real estate investing by integrating marketing, lead management, accounting, and more.

    Financial planning is a service-based business. You're selling the invisible. It can't be seen, touched or experienced before buying. Prospects are forced to search for other ways to evaluate the value of working with you (most of which are NOT great options to inform such an important decision!). Fortunately, Michael Lecours, a financial advisor and co-founder of fpPathfinder, joined the show to explain the challenges of communicating the value of an intangible service and share specific ideas to make the financial planning experience more tangible.

    Jesse explores insights from the Retirements and Perspectives study, which captures the experiences and expectations of individuals transitioning into retirement, especially those aged 50 to 75. With half of the participants recently retired and the other half preparing to retire within two years, the study offers a timely look at the "final glide path" into retirement and the early years that follow. Authored by retirement experts Fritz Gilbert and Eric Weigel, the report dives into preparedness, lifestyle satisfaction, and evolving concerns. It reveals a common disconnect between what pre-retirees expect and what retirees actually experience—particularly around health, identity, and social engagement. Jesse discusses how meaning and purpose often decline post-retirement, and how maintaining social connection and physical health is key to thriving. Drawing inspiration from longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia, the episode emphasizes that preparing for retirement goes beyond money—it's about planning for purpose, relationships, and well-being. Jesse also shares three powerful exercises to help listeners create a more intentional retirement vision: the Perfect Day, the Ikigai Map, and the Rocking Chair Test. Key Takeaways:• Retirement is more than a financial event—it's a major life transition requiring emotional, social, and identity planning. • Physical health and vitality are crucial to enjoying retirement, not just surviving it. • Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of well-being in retirement. • The “Perfect Day” exercise helps retirees envision and plan a fulfilling daily life post-career. • The “Ikigai Map” offers a powerful framework to align purpose, passion, and impact in retirement. • The “Rocking Chair Test” encourages long-term reflection on what truly matters at the end of life.

    In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, takes on one of the most urgent and often misunderstood topics in retirement planning: Social Security. With headlines swirling, political tensions rising, and myths spreading, Darryl breaks down the real math behind the Social Security system, the challenges it faces, and what retirees (and future retirees) need to understand today. Drawing on personal stories, economic context, and practical advice, Darryl explains why this issue affects everyone - not just those currently receiving checks - and how thoughtful, long-term thinking can help you navigate decisions like when to claim benefits, how to plan for your spouse's future, and what tax impacts to watch for. Key highlights of the episode include: • Why Social Security has been called a “Ponzi scheme” - and whether that label is fair. • The looming 2033 shortfall and what it could mean for benefit payouts. • Why investment policy (or the lack of it) in the Social Security trust fund matters so much. • The dangers of claiming benefits early without considering your spouse's future. • How Social Security taxation really works - and the thresholds that affect you. Whether you're already retired or getting close, this episode is designed to help you understand how Social Security impacts your financial picture - and what you can do now to make informed, confident decisions about your retirement income.

Lauryn shares her personal journey from being an Olympian to becoming a financial planner, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's unique financial situation. The conversation covers various strategies for managing student loans, the risks of refinancing, and the impact of marital status on repayment plans. Listeners are encouraged to take proactive steps in their financial planning to optimize their student loan situations. Takeaways Lauryn's journey from athlete to financial planner highlights the importance of financial literacy. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) requires specific employment and payment criteria. Income-driven repayment plans can significantly reduce monthly payments based on income. Refinancing student loans can eliminate federal protections and benefits. Married couples should consider filing separately to optimize student loan payments. Tax implications of student loan forgiveness can be substantial and should be planned for. Understanding the different types of student loans is crucial for effective management. Proactive financial planning can lead to significant long-term benefits. Consulting with a financial advisor can provide personalized strategies for student loan management. Staying informed about policy changes is essential for effective financial planning.
