3 Boring ETFs that will retire me in 5 years. So for context, my net worth is past seven figures and instead of starting off with an S&P 500 ETF, the one I really love is ticker VXUS. This one gives me international exposure to emerging and developed markets. So think Japan, China, South Korea, the rest of Asia, and Europe. They also hold TSM, which is the manufacturing backbone behind world's most advanced AI chips. And XLK is great if you want more exposure to the semiconductor and software layer behind AI. And number two is VTI. This is my foundation. I'm already up 56% on this. So VTI gives me exposure to basically every publicly traded company in the United States. And number three is PPA. This is my bet on aerospace and defense tech. It's also my way of balancing against the whole AI bubble. So I own America, the world, the tech building the future, and the aerospace and defense protecting it. And a little gold and Bitcoin as my hedge against whatever comes in the future. I started investing at 27, so it's never too late. I'm just a dad investing with intention, speedrunning to retirement.
