3 Top Dividend Stocks for Retirees Wanting Consistent Income

At the foundation of many successful investor portfolios, you'll often find companies that provide consistent income. Warren Buffett is a perfect example of one successful investor who benefits from dividend-paying stocks. In his Berkshire Hathaway portfolio, total dividend income is expected to reach $4.6 billion for 2021, led by a trio of holdings made up of Apple, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America, which are responsible for half of that amount.

But those aren't the only dividend-paying companies that can help retirees bring in consistent income. The healthcare and real estate markets are host to three particular companies that have been paying dividends consistently for more than 10 years, and for investors looking to get a monthly -- rather than quarterly -- bank deposit, two of these could be perfect.
