conversation: User (monkeylollipops): "So I should preface this, I recently got out of college still live with my parents and they help pay off my student loans so I have no issue when it comes to living expenses. I just got a new full time job, and got to thinking and doing some reading after looking at how money I'd have to myself taxes, and splitting my money between checking and saving which is approximately $100 every month. So in thinking I figured I'd invest in stocks so I can build some wealth, I realize the payouts from dividends aren't going to be major until you put in more money but I figure a bit here and a but there eventually adds up. Thus I ask is it a good idea to invest in dividend paying stocks or is it better to invest in non dividend paying stock?"
