I’m lazy and just went with a vanguard index fund with admiral shares so they take like 0.10% or something really low like that

It earned me over $1,000 in like 2 months when Trump was in office and then 2022 wiped everything out and then some. Just telling myself it’s a long term plan and I don’t bother looking at it for now…

Yeah, the timeline is like 10-30 years. Can’t be upset if you’re down after only 1-2 years in the market. I wasn’t making much when I graduated college back in 2013, but whatever little I had to invest back then I put into ETFs and they’re up over 100%. I started making decent money in 2018, and started throwing it into ETFs again. We’re unlikely to see the same bull run we saw from 2013-2021, but if we get even half of that from 2023-2033, I’ll be super happy lol.
