  • One of my favorite ways to invest is through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They're simple, and you can generally accomplish the same goals in a few investments that would've taken you dozens or hundreds of investments a few decades ago.

The article from MSN Money discusses two Vanguard ETFs recommended for long-term investment with an initial investment of $500. The first ETF highlighted is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), which tracks the S&P 500 Index, offering exposure to 500 of the largest U.S. companies across various sectors. It's praised for its low expense ratio of 0.03%, making it cost-effective for investors looking to mirror the performance of the U.S. stock market. The second ETF is the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), which provides even broader market exposure by including small-, mid-, and large-cap stocks, covering nearly the entire U.S. equity market. This ETF has an expense ratio of 0.03% as well. Both ETFs are recommended for their diversification, low costs, and the potential for long-term growth, making them suitable for investors looking to build wealth over time through passive investing.
