“Vanguard’s product lineup across all asset classes and styles now has an average expense ratio of 0.06%”
– The late Vanguard founder Jack Bogle often said, “In investing, you get what you don’t pay for.”

This is a good question when seeking financial advice. Ofc some successful folks will advise you for the low, low price of a book. Here are two of the best.
Read “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” by Mel Lindauer first as an intro. Then read and follow “The Simple Path to Wealth” by JL Collins.
I highly recommend these #finance / #wealth books & resources:
- Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders (1965-2014 https://www.amazon.com/Berkshire-Hathaway-Letters-Shareholders-Buffett/dp/0615975070, mostly available here: https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html
- #Bogleheads Guide to Investing (in the meantime, reading https://www.bogleheads.org/)
- Developing financial wisdom: https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45311
Level up your $$$ knowledge, and share it with your good people!

Anybody and everybody eligible to fund a Roth IRA really would be wise to fully fund said investment and use a well-regarded total market index fund as the vehicle.

I would like to hear from the current and future employees of #Vanguard that they have read John Bogle’s book “Enough” and that they agree with it, take it to heart, and will comport themselves accordingly.
Indications are they do the opposite. Prime example is voting in favor of the compensation package for the CEO of Tesla.

“There are some good reasons to consider opening an IRA for a child if they’re already earning money. One of the most obvious advantages is that time is on their side when it comes to saving.”
