Retirees Rely On These 5 Safe High Yield Monthly Pay Dividend Stocks

""So if I'm a boomer and I'm looking for income, I'm at this point no longer in the stage of life where I'm trading Nvidia stock. I want something that's steady that I can virtually count on. So what do you have if you're in my shoes? What are you going to do?""

""The boomers, of course, the oldest boomers are turning 80 this year. They do not have any interest in seeing everything go up in smoke in the stock market.""

""One we really like a lot, and we write about frequently, is the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF," says Jackson. "This is a group of stocks we have written about for years. They are quality companies in the S&P 500 that have raised their dividends at least 25 years in a row. That is something all boomers and older investors can feel good about because even if it dips a little bit, you know your dividend is going to go up every year, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.""

Many Gen X and boomer investors seek steady, dependable income while avoiding significant capital loss from high-growth stocks. Five dividend-focused ETFs offer retirement income with an emphasis on stability and modest yields rather than high payouts. The ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF holds companies that have raised dividends for at least 25 consecutive years, providing reliable, growing dividend streams. Targeting a total return of roughly 5% to 8% annually through dividend income plus price appreciation can help retirees maintain purchasing power and stay ahead of inflation. The strategy balances passive income with moderate growth while minimizing downside risk.
