Schd dividend interest

I’m thinking about investing in SCHD or a few of those other dividends that I’ve been reading on here and doing my research. I have an extra 1500 bucks in my brokerage Charles Schwab. I’m not looking to live off of this. I’m looking for some extra passive income for fun I’m a union Lineman. My retirement is taken care of I have plenty of that and that’s gonna grow. I’m only 42. I have my Roth IRA account that has 50 shares of VOO and 95 shares of VTI. I have a good buddy of mine that’s a financial advisor and he just tells me to keep putting all my money into those tri intrude index funds. What’s this fine but I was thinking about doing the dividend side and trying it out. any input is good. Feel free to ask any questions
