The Logic

Phase 1 (Accumulation): You don't need income. You need Total Return. VIG's 1.8% yield allows companies to reinvest for growth.

Phase 2 (Transition): You need to start building the "Yield on Cost" engine. SCHD is the workhorse here.

Phase 3 (Distribution): You stop working. You need Cash Flow. JEPI and JEPQ convert your volatility into rent money.
