Vanguard is one of my favorite brokerages. I just wanted to share with you exactly how to begin investing using the Vanguard platform and their low expense ratio index funds. This is one of the smartest ways to invest today, as Warren Buffet and other millionaires recommend buying these low cost index funds and investing in the long term. This is also how I have set up my Roth IRA retirement account, which I recommend you guys do as well.

I'll screenshare with you as I open up a Vanguard account, and purchase some ETFs. A lot of people don't realize that funding the account only puts the money in your settlement account, and it's not actually invested! To invest, you need to take money from your settlement account and use it to purchase shares of an ETF or stock.

We'll go through:

I'll also go through 3 top ETF's that you can buy today, all with extremely low fees and reliable performance.

I like how you show and walk us through the process on the computer. It’s easier to understand this way. Thank you

[akemp]

Thank you thank you thank you for this! Every time I look for how to invest it’s just “invest with vanguard, fidelity, etc.” but I had yet to find a step by step guide like this until now. This is sooo helpful!

[noeliasuarez]

You are amazing. I can finally found someone that actually explains how to invest in Vanguard. I have had the account for over a year and I never bought anything thinking it was already taking care. Thank you for going step by step for those that are new in this.

Love Index Funds, great stuff as usual Charlie

I like how you added the expense ratio. I think it’s really important to try to keep the expense ratio below or on the dot of 0.03 if possible. Similar funds have an average ratio of around 0.82!!

Thank you for putting together this walk through video. I have been trying to actually learn HOW to setup and get into index funds and this is the first video that I feel like I actually am not left with more questions than answers. Again, thank you and keep up the helpful work! I just subscribed!

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

Another great Video!!! I would like to rollover over my retirement fund with vanguard. Would you suggest rolling over a 100k to one fund like VTSAX? Or should I structure it differently due to current market situations? Appreciate your suggestions!

Thank you so much for explaining this! This was so helpful, Vanguard should pay you to make tutorials!

Very informative! Follow up question: how does it look when you contribute a monthly portion of your paycheck into your Roth ira vs doing what you did in this video? Can we simply automate what you did with vanguard's s&p 500 with monthly paycheck contributions?

[PierceJordan]

One of the best ways to invest! Thanks for putting this guide together!
