Dear Aida,

There is a quiet kind of wealth —
slow, steady, almost unremarkable on the surface —
that has shaped more financial freedom than all the flashy strategies combined.

It is the wealth built on dividends.

Dividends are one of the simplest financial forces in the world,
yet they hold extraordinary power.
Not because they make you rich overnight,
but because they create independence in a way few other assets can.

Dividends are money your money earns
— without your labor,
without your time,
without your ongoing effort.

They are the closest thing to financial gravity:
always pulling quietly,
always working in the background,
always accumulating strength with time.
