I wasn’t aware of that, albeit I was using the word “dividends” in the sense of all potential returns from the initial capital I had invested, and not the strict sense of stock dividends alone, and was implicitly trying to hint at the idea of the safe withdrawal rate.
I’m not astute enough to be more specific, but I’m using it in the sense that one can buy a house and then retire on the rental money, and while the rent and the price you bought it are strongly correlated, that doesn’t matter as long as you get the income you expect.
