Theoretically, if I have an investment that provides me a middle class income for 0 work consistently for the rest of my life, why the hell would I care if I “missed out on a lot of growth”? That basically gives you “fuck you” money.

Not with inflation. If you pocket your dividends every time instead of reinvesting; then you will end up making less as those stocks wont grow to keep up with it.

Companies only pay big dividends when they’re effectively done growing.
