And what's it done for me? Well, how about allowing me to achieve financial freedom in my early 30s? How about giving the ability to quit my job at only 32 years old? How about giving me the chance to travel the world and even live in a foreign country? Yeah, investing in high-quality dividend growth stocks has totally changed my life. See, these stocks represent equity in world-class enterprises. World-class enterprises that are producing reliable, rising profits by selling the products and/or services the world demands. And they reward their loyal shareholders with reliable, rising dividends - which are funded by the reliable, rising profits. The world demands stuff every day. And regular people like us can invest in this global economic ecosystem and financially benefit from it. Now, some dividend growth stocks are better than others. Not every business is equal. Not every stock is equal. Some dividend growth stocks are practically legendary at this point. And building a portfolio around these stocks can set you up for incredible long-term success. Today, I want to tell you about 3 dividend growth stocks that are the kind you buy and then hold forever. Ready? Let's dig in. The first dividend growth stock that should be held forever once bought is Apple Inc. (AAPL). Once you buy Apple stock, plan on holding it forever. If you do this - if you buy Apple stock and plan on it holding it forever - you'll be in great company. Guess who else has bought a ton of Apple stock with the intention to hold forever? None other than the legendary buy-and-hold billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The common stock portfolio he controls through his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway owns more than 887 million shares of Apple, worth about $130 billion. It's the largest position in his portfolio. He loves this stock. Of course Buffett loves Apple stock. Why wouldn't he? Buffett loves growing dividends, just like I do. Speaking of which, Apple has increased its dividend for nine consecutive years. But don't let that short track record fool you. They're just getting started with it. I have zero doubt that this will be a Dividend Aristocrat one day. The five-year dividend growth rate of 9.4% is rewarding patient, long-term investors who can get over the fact that the stock yields just 0.6%. The second dividend growth stock that should be held forever once bought is Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Johnson & Johnson is a global healthcare conglomerate with a market cap of $456 billion. How do you think Johnson & Johnson became a $456 billion company? They did that by providing the world with the medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products it demands. And that's the same way they'll become a $500 billion company and then a $1 trillion company. Johnson & Johnson may as well be renamed Quality & Quality. Because every single aspect of the business is synonymous with quality. They're one of only two companies in the world with a AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor's. The third dividend growth stock that should be held forever once bought is PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP). PepsiCo is a multinational food and beverage company with a market cap of $212 billion. What is something that all humans have in common? Yep. We all have to eat. That's a basic fact of life. And while basic subsistence is all that's necessary, people tend to want food that's enjoyable, too. Well, that's where PepsiCo comes in. They provide the foods and beverages that people all over the world enjoy. PepsiCo has - get this - 23 different billion-dollar brands. ► Website: http://www.dividendsandincome.com/ ► Patreon: http://bit.ly/dai_patreon #BestStockToBuyNow #StrongBuy #DividendAristocrat $AAPL $JNJ $PEP LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Please consult with a licensed investment professional before investing any of your money.
