  "account": "Dividend seekers often set ambitious targets, but it's important to remember the adage, \"It takes money to make money.\" For investors hoping to earn $500 per month, or $6,000 annually, from pipeline stock MPLX (NYSE: MPLX), the math doesn't seem particularly appealing, and that might be one of the key drawbacks of this midstream stock. While this pipeline stock offers a high dividend, it necessitates a substantial investment to achieve the desired income level. To put it in perspective, generating $500 a month would require a substantial holding of 1,392.1 shares of MPLX. Although the prospect of a 7.6% dividend yield, more than seven times the S&P 500's yield and significantly higher than the 10-year Treasury yield, is tempting, the necessary investment to attain this income level is a significant hurdle.",
  "summary": "MPLX has a growing dividend, but reaching a $6,000-a-year income from this midstream stock is an expensive proposition.",
