Abstract:

This paper describes how to achieve financial independence both during one’s career and during the retirement years by using the DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan) to purchase stocks of quality companies that pay increasing dividends. The formula derived in this paper uses historical data over the 10 year period from 1998 – 2007 to compute returns.
