Why Federal Realty Is a Retiree's Dream Income Stock
Retirement income is all about reliability: If you're not drawing a paycheck anymore, you need income you can count on, month after month and, if things go well, year after year.
There's Social Security, of course, and while there was just a cost-of-living increase pumped into that critical pipeline for tens of millions of beneficiaries, that was to combat inflation, that fly in the ointment for any fixed-income stream.
Stocks, of course, are a great way to build wealth, but taking on capital risk becomes, well, riskier now when the timeline for recovery has shrunk. So, what to do? You could consider real estate investment trusts (REITs).
