Individual Vs. Retirement Accounts (Dividend Stock Investing & Early Retirement)

As a dividend stock investor who wants early retirement (also known as financial freedom), I highly favor individual (taxable) accounts for my stock portfolio. By contrast, retirement accounts (such as the Roth IRA and 401k) do not allow withdrawals before 65 years of age (unless one wants to pay a penalty). Since I plan to tap into my dividend income well before I'm 65 years old, I do not like retirement accounts for my personal situation.

Today's video compares and contrasts taxable individual accounts vs. retirement accounts, from a dividend growth investing perspective.

Topics covered include:
* Types of stock brokerage accounts. Individual (also known as taxable), Roth IRA, and 401k.
* Pros and cons of individual accounts vs. retirement accounts.
* Why I love individual accounts for my dividend stock portfolio.
* Why I love the concept of an early retirement (or financial freedom). Even if I don't retire early, I will surely tap into my massive cash flow.
* Why Roth style accounts are the best from a tax standpoint (if one does not plan to utilize funds until a traditional post-65 retirement).
* Why employer match (often in 401k accounts) is pure gold.
* Why 401k accounts could be risky since future taxes (at time of withdrawal) are unknown.
* Why mutual funds are a deal-breaker for me, except in the case of 401k employer match.
* How account optimization is a balancing act.
