I am a Dividend Growth Investor.

This means that when dividends cover expenses, work becomes optional. That doesn't mean you never work, it just provides the option to do work you truly love. Which is a luxury for a large portion of the population.

The goal is to create an asset base that can support you, and your family. I will likely end up leaving it to family when I am gone. They can live off the income, but keep the principle there. The legal structure for that is a separate issue of course (Trust/estate planning)

Ironically, if I really do my work as a parent well (financial education/literacy), those kids/grandkids will be able to build a life for themselves and their own "trust funds" to live off.  

I did not come from a wealthy family, so when I had obstacles, I often thought to myself "It would be nice if we had a trust fund to take care of that".

The portfolio I have built would be a nice "emergency fund" to help support family in case things happen.

And things do happen. 

Things that happen - unemployment, sickness, natural disasters etc
