Should I keep my dividend stocks or drop them for growth at this point.
So I am 37 and originally started my investing poorly. My family got me stuck with this investing firm that was just putting my funds in high expense mutual funds that they were taking a cut of for signing us up for. So I learned about this when I lost my job due to medical reasons. I wasn't able to get disability but I also wasn't really able to work full time, so I thought dividends would help hold me over for the important stuff. My wife really helped during this time, and now about a year ago, I found full time work that I can mostly handle. I can now max out my ROTH IRA starting last year and my 401K this year. I have not started a HSA and missed the cut off at my job for this year. Next year we shall see.
I wanted to know if I should just drop PM, KO, and ABBV and just add it to VOO/VXUS or should I just hold them and let them grow and just focus my investments now in VOO and VXUS? yes I have VOO and FNILX because I didn't know what I was doing and don't think there is a good reason to sell either unless I plan on moving to another place. Or is VXUS just not a great place to be right now?
