  • The median weekly income for U.S. workers was $1,165 in the third quarter, which is roughly $60,500 per year, according to the Labor Department. That translates into after-tax income of roughly $45,000 per year even in the worst-case scenario.

The article from MSN Money discusses how investing in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) could potentially grow a modest monthly investment into a significant portfolio over time. It suggests that by investing $375 per month into VOO, which tracks the S&P 500, an investor could accumulate a portfolio worth approximately $569,400 over 30 years, assuming an average annual return of 10%.

The piece emphasizes the power of compound interest and the benefits of long-term investment in a diversified, low-cost index fund like VOO, highlighting its historical performance and the simplicity of this investment strategy for building wealth.
