dividends and how they fit into a long term plan

[Swhackett]

I am 60 years old and have a TSP account - I am looking at diversification and looking at companies that will pay a monthly dividend - the min ammount is 3K which I do not have.  Is there a way to dollar cost average (set $$ aside) until that min is met and then invest?
