How much do you need to have invested in Dividend stocks to make 2-3k monthly?

$200k at 10% is ~$1.6k a month if returns are monthly (not all stocks do monthly). But the math is pretty easy overall

131 comments and the answers swing from $200,000 to $2.4 million, which tells you the real variable is yield. Reaching for 10% payers to shrink the required balance is how income investors quietly take on equity risk they never priced, and nobody in the thread netted out taxes.
