Mango trees will settle into a cropping pattern by the third year after planting and reach peak production in six to eight years. The tree is long-lived with some specimens known to be over 300 years old and still producing fruit. Dividend investing is similar to planting a mango tree. Things start very slowly at first. It appears as if all your efforts are in vain, but ever so surely the process begins to produce fruit (dividends). Just as picking fruit from a mango tree does not harm it, living off dividends does not damage the investment’s ability to produce future results.
