Yes indeed, this is exactly the reason why I chose to go with DGI.
As most of you may remember, this was my first year (well most of it anyway) in retirement. And it certainly was a dodgy one when looking at my portfolios performance. However, so far there hasn't been a single dividend cut so I'm not worried at all, quite the opposite actually.
Also, having a pretty large cash balance really gives me some peace of mind in times like these. Though of course with this inflation it's not really a smart move to have too much cash for too long.
My cap goes off to all of you who retired recently, and didn't have to un-retire.
