What kind of investing gives you a dividend or check every month, etc?

petrol asked:


I have a retirement account (403b) that I invest money into every month. However, I’d like to expand my investing and do the “stocks and bonds” thing to get a dividend as “income” on a regular basis. How does one go about setting something like this up? All of the people I know that trade dont speak “little guy” so I am asking here for the n00b investor info.

   Stock funds generally pay dividends quarterly. Some bond funds, like short term bond funds, pay monthly.
