Dear journal: I'm running out of things to pin to my YouTube comments. Perhaps I should start telling bad dad jokes? Something like, when two vegans get into an argument, is it still called a beef? No, no... they'll hate that.

So about 68% of my portfolio is in passive index funds and ETFs VFTAX, VOO, VTI among others. I make use of an F.A Dianne Sarah Olson It’s pleasant for me this way, these are suitable steps for seeking greater cash flow on long term trends.I feel like even if 20% of my portfolio underperforms, I’ll still generate income from having a diverse portfolio. Better than spending my money on an expensive shoe or vacation lol.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

Great video, Once everyone starts talking about a specific stock and it's all over the news the best time to have already invested in that company has already passed. avoid hype- you don't want to be paying more for stock than what it's wort.

Income investing is when you build an investment portfolio that produces enough of a profit that it can pay out an income on a regular basis. Sir Bobby Harris teaches that your portfolio should not made up of the hot new stocks but rather safe and secure investments that have a long history of stability, this is why I always work with Sir Bobby Using his methods I have been compounding income within every investment period.

Index fund investing is a tried and true method to build wealth through diversified investing. I use index funds as the backbone for my retirement accounts because they help minimize my risk and provide steady (and somewhat predictable) gains over a long time horizon. I think it's important to have a more aggressive approach while you're younger, so I do a mix of dividend and individual stock investing. But at the end of the day, you can't go wrong with good ole index funds!! Great video Joshua.

This the formula:
Growth funds
Income funds
International funds
Aggressive growth funds
I prefer Schwab funds because they have lower expense ratios and good ratings.
Reinvest any dividends and buy weekly no matter what. Right now everything is on sale.

Solid video, when it comes to index funds, it is all about capitalizing on the broad market with a fund like VTI!

Repetition is the cousin of learning. So it’s refreshing as a seasoned investor to go back to the basics and shield from all the noise in the market.

My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
