15 Great Retirement Stocks for 2022

Dividend Achievers can help provide payouts and price growth for years to come

Just because you're retired doesn't mean your expenses are, especially during inflationary times like these. Well-chosen stocks that provide both growth and income can be a great way to supplement your other streams of income, such as annuities, Social Security, and any other defined benefit plans you have.

To help you choose, here's a lineup of 15 different stocks from a wide range of industries. What they all have in common is: (1) at least 10 years of dividend growth -- qualifying them for Dividend Achiever status; (2) total return over the past decade that's either above or within shouting distance of the S&P 500's total return of just at 300% over that time; and (3) a dividend payout above that broad measure's current yield of about 1.37%.
