Investing in the stock market can be intimidating, especially if you didn't grow up around words such as passive income. I grew up around the words "no income," so learning about income streams has been enlightening.

The stock market doesn't have to be as "crazy" as people make it seem. Investing in well-known, stable companies will raise your net worth while allowing you to sleep tight at night.

Over time those companies will increase in value, as will the amount of income they pay you. The human brain cannot fathom the power of compounding, so why try? All we need to do is the same thing other wealthy people have been doing for years—become dividend growth investors.
