Passive income is one of the most sought-after financial goals among investors. While many income-seeking investors gravitate toward high-yielding stocks, the foundation of a sustainable passive-income strategy lies in dividend growth stocks. These companies offer something more valuable than a large current payout -- the potential for steadily increasing income streams that can help maintain purchasing power over decades.

One reason for that is the yield, which at 3.4% is nearly three times larger than the 1.2% you could collect from an S&P 500 index ETF. But there's much more to the story than just yield that makes the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF a great place to invest $1,000 or more today.
