General Discussion

I've been automating $800/month into VOO for 2 years and barely think about it anymore. The 'set and forget' approach is underrated.

The Bogleheads forum changed my life. Before that I was trying to beat the market. After: VTI and chill. Up 11% annualized since switching.

Hit $100k in my investment accounts today. Started with $500 four years ago. Boring index funds did most of the work. Proof that consistency matters more than picking winners.

Just got my year-end statement and realized I've been paying 1.2% expense ratio on my managed fund. Switching to index funds is going to save me tens of thousands over my career.

Been investing for about 3 years now and still learning every day. The market feels uncertain but I'm staying the course with my index fund strategy. Would love to hear how others are handling things.

Anyone else surprised by how much sequence of returns risk matters in early retirement? Just ran the numbers and it's kind of terrifying.
