Our Rich Journey - How to Become a Millionaire with Index Funds | Vanguard, Schwab, & Fidelity: If you're familiar with our FIRE journey, you know that a large part of our FIRE success is due to investing in index funds. Several months ago, we did a video on VTSAX (a Vanguard index fund). We got so many questions from that video and so much interest in index funds, we decided to do an in-depth video on index funds. So . . . in this video, we dive more into our discussion on index fund investing. We talk about the history of the index fund, why the index funds was originally created back in 1975, we share index funds we invest in, and we share our top picks for index funds with Vanguard, Schwab, and Fidelity. Thanks for watching!

    This is What happens when you have 4 hands going after one GOAL. Some folks are against Marriage but a family who grinds together shines together.

    I just crossed the $2 million mark with Vanguard index funds. I'm 46 and I plan on working until 55.

    Started with Vanguard set up by my mom when I was 15 and kept maxing out the Roth IRA every year in first a target retirement fund and then a full 100% stock VFIAX index fund. I’m currently 35 and it’s grown to almost 400k, still won’t stop and keep grinding.

    I really wish home economics was taught in schools today. Saving, investing, what a stock is, understanding the pain of debt and overspending can cause, how to shop for food wisely, how to cook at home and save BIG$ .. all of it
  • @danwahl5477
    Just started doing this at 33. I really wish they taught this in high school or college.
  • @itscharine1712
    This is valuable information!! I’m 32 and I know it’s not too late!!!! I’m excited to start this financial freedom journey!! God bless you both!
  • @pankhuriroy834
    You guys should seriously consider coming up with a course related to everything about investments.
  • I thought I needed to be alone to invest and build wealth, but I realize watching you that finding someone with similar goals will help me reach financial independence much sooner and be happier along the way.
  • I don’t understand anything what are you guys are saying but I’m still listening
  • @LanceHamright

    My best friend put me onto index funds 20 years ago...it was the best thing I’ve ever been introduced to, changed my life.
  • @hellohuhify
    Congrats on your successful partnership both romantically and financially. Thank you for your advice!
  • @slmunney7760
    10 minute video that if followed consistently will put you in the 80 percentile (at a minimum) of all investors. Unfortunately, it took me about 15 years trying everything under the sun to come to the same conclusion. At least I learned eventually. Great video.
