Jeremy Schneider: How to Become a Millionaire with Index Funds

[@massageandunwind8787]

You can rebalance with the Schwab index ETFs : take profits from your highest appreciating index etf and use the proceeds as capital to buy the lower value ETFs. Just wash rinse and repeat.

[@ethelbertt]

I live off of dividends on ETFs, for sure it can improve your wealth if you reinvest them to buy more, creating a snowball effect that allows you compound over time.

[@Msmelissa-u1w]

Have you considered the possibility of cashing out some of those dividends for paying off your monthly expenses, instead of re-investing them? Bcos I need a lot as rent, inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make.

[@ethelbertt]

tbh I keep compounding, adhering to well established patterns from a professional, even as a rookie, can bring tremendous value! I’ve trimmed, added also and now my average growth has increased 88% in the past year while participating behind a top performer. effectively remits over 100k annually and increasing.

[@Paulreal-s2w]

@Msmelissa a lot of people let their dividends ride for the long-term given its solid returns effects overtime

[@Msmelissa-u1w]

Well you're sooo crushing it, I'm really looking forward to growth over time now. I will be reinvesting dividends like you, so my position size will grow. Okay if I ask how you maintained such growth from dividends, also your top performer.

FXIAX tracks the S&P 500 index. "Don't buy the needle in the haystack, just buy the haystack." - Jack Bogle

[@marcwareham9351]

My only concern with index funds is that, as people move more and more into them. And less into actively managed funds. How will the market set the value for the stocks in the index? As it’ll be the fund buying them regardless. So let’s say KO was actually doing really badly. Vanguard would still be buying the stock and falsely increasing its market cap. What’s your thoughts on this please?

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

If KO does really badly and falls out of the index you're investing in ... you no longer invest in KO as an index fund investor. This is a win-win for index fund investors because you only own the market-cap-weighted companies in the index.

[@michaeldautry]

It’s basically a free managed fund bc the s&p 500 kicks the companies out if they are not meeting the criteria for the 500 stocks.

Is there a difference between index funds and ETFs?

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

Yes and no. ETFs can typically be bought at a lower price. Also, they can be sold during the trading day and index funds sold at the end of the market day. But as far as what you're investing in, an ETF like VTI and an index fund like VTSAX are pretty much the same.

[@MrSkapoor121]

my 401k unfortunately does not allow for setting up automatic investments - given this would you suggest manually investing on a two week basis? or would you suggest an alternative like manually entering trades every day ? i was hoping for a set it and forget way to invest but given above that makes it difficult ?

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

Great question! Once per month should be fine. I do question the quality of the 401k program (funds, fees, etc) if they don't allow for automatic investments. Do you get a 401k match? What type of fees are you paying? If there is not 401k match, your fees are high and your investment options are low, you might want to start with a Roth IRA instead.

[@pnyorker2006]

Are you sure about that? Better call your 401k representative. Choose or elect a mutual fund or funds or much better an index fund just like my case and just contribute every pay period.

[@jasonb7812]

Absolutely, exactly that. I have an IRA, a 401(k), and an individual brokerage account with Vanguard. I’ve been maxing the first two for years, then I put as much as I want in the brokerage account in addition.

[@AntonLitvin]

Thats all great but adjusted for inflation you will still not get rich even after 40 years. I just googled that an item worth 100 in 1960 would be worth 1000 in 2023. So 40 years from now 2 million will be 200k in todays valuation. So setting aside small sums and putting it into index will help you a little when you’re old but don’t count on getting actually rich. Starting a business and than investing is basically the only way anyone could get rich.

[@donaldlyons17]

Right!!!! Yeah these people know the answer is having an income that outpaces expenses but with so many not making enough they don't want them to just leave.... So they suggest slow and steady which will not work either..... WTF why not just be honest?

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

Inflation is definitely something to account for. Since the stock market has averaged around 10% over it's existence and inflation averages around 3% over its history as well ... a real rate of return of around 7% may be a better input. With that said, contributing $500 per month for 40 years at a 7% real rate of return will make you a millionaire (in today's dollars). So I guess the question really is ... what do you consider rich?

[@donaldlyons17]

@@MarriageKidsandMoney $500 a month is more than a huge percentage of the population can afford each month especially for YEARS!!!

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

First of all, congratulations on growing your 401k balance to $140,000 at 45 years old. To get to $1 million by 55, you would need to consider maxing out your 401k each year for the next 10 years. If you get an employer match, that would help a lot. If you don't get an employer match, you could consider investing with (and maxing out) a Roth IRA as well. Here's a video on how to open a Roth IRA with my favorite low cost brokerage partner Vanguard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoXUda1jitZjrs0

Also, check into what type of investments you're investing in within your 401k. Not all investments are the same and your 401k fees could be higher than normal too.

Index Funds where only gains are kept and not participating in down turns. That is real index power.

I wouldn't agree with that statement. In 2022, the S&P 500 went down by 18%. S&P 500 Index Fund holders lost 18% that year, but it's up about 19% this year so far (July 2023). So if you started investing at the beginning of 2022 and invested in the S&P 500 index, then you'd be up by 1% today. Long-term though (say over the past 100 years) ... you'd be averaging around 10%

[@MarriageKidsandMoney]

I believe inflation over the next 20-30 years will trend closer to the Fed's target rate of 2-3%. Historically, you'll see the average inflation over time in the US is closer to that 3% number. 5% feels very high to me, but to each their own.
