  • "Long term, I would say it's probably a six-figure move, which isn't that big over a 30- to 40-year period. But, it's like, why wouldn't you take it?"

The article from Business Insider discusses how a millionaire couple, Brian and Bob, shifted their investment strategy from individual stocks to index funds and ETFs.

Their experience underscores the benefits of index funds in providing stability and consistent growth, aligning with the broader trend of investors moving away from stock-picking to more passive investment vehicles.
