I've been looking into Vanguard ETFs recently but it looks like the quarterly dividends don't even make up for inflation. The total stock market ETF is paying about $2 yearly at a market price of around $125.

What specific index funds do you invest in?

The gain is expected from capital growth, not dividends.
