It's really simple just buy a Vanguard no load S&P 500 and hold it and don't ever sell it At the end of the day Unless you're a professional investor that's on it every second and like you just really know what you're doing even the most successful hedge fund managers can't beat the S&P over the long term And especially when you're including the fees they charge the commissions uh the tax advantages of buying and holding and reinvesting dividends so you're gonna end up much much better off and it's been mathematically proven If you simply buy the S&P and just hold it for 30 years So if you're late to investing how do you invest in the S&P 500 yourself so you don't have to pay a money manager that charges you high fees Let's find out My name is Steve I'm a millionaire former public school teacher now teaching personal finance for FREE So you don't have to pay for it 1. Go to Fidelity Schwab or Vanguard or whatever you're comfortable with and click on the button where it says open an account 2. You're going to see a menu of options but I would first open an IRA or an Individual Retirement Account and then a Taxable Brokerage Account Click on open an account fill out this form it should take around 5 minutes 3. Connect your bank account Go to your dashboard and click on the button with the little money sign that says transfer Select EFT to or from a bank and set up one time or recurring deposits I'm going to use $500 for my example 4. And most importantly you want to purchase assets Go back to your dashboard and click on the magnifying glass that says quote type in the stock or ETF that you want to buy in this example I'll use SPYM And keep it simple by setting your action to buy quantity one order type market and then click on Preview Order Because if you can invest a thousand dollars a month for the next 15 years you'll have around $414,000 with average returns and the best part is this is compared to you just leaving your money in a bank where you only have a $180,000 where you'd be able to save close to $14,000 if you didn't have a money manager doing this for you and where you'll have a much larger portfolio because 90% of active money managers fail to beat the S&P 500 If you want this Google doc that shows you how to do this step by step by yourself along with all my calculators and all my free resources Go to my bio or tag a friend Tag a friend and I'll send it to both of you right now I hope it helps
