As dividend growth investors for a more secure financial future and retirement, we can't just expect all aristocrats of today will go on forever. Don't misunderstand; most great companies will continue to flourish and supply our income stream. But by adding the most obvious future aristocrats now, an investor can grow right along with that company's salad years.
