Today, I am kicking off a new video series covering my top dividend growth investing stocks for 2022 and beyond. Specifically, I'll be covering what I call DGIF stocks. 

DGIF is an acronym I created that stands for "dividend growth investing for FIRED." If you aren't already familiar, FIRED is an acronym for "financial independence retire early with dividends." I explain the five primary criteria for DGIF stocks in the video below.

After the brief description, I cover the first stock in the series, which is Tractor Supply Company (TSCO 0.53%). Here are a few reasons to like this stock as a long-term investment:

  • 1,967 strategic locations in 49 states
  • Growing online e-commerce presence
  • Growth without dilution
  • Pet care 
  • Increased buybacks and dividends
  • $13.25 billion 2022 estimated sales
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITA) also expected to grow an estimated 10% in 2022
  • 22 million loyalty members

Could TSCO be the next Costco (COST 0.10%)?
