Invest For The Long Term! Retire with VTI - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF

So today I will be talking about long term investing and

why you need to have that mindset!

Recently there had been a lot of noise regarding the stock market dipping, This is why it is vastly important that you set yourself an investment strategy and stick to it.

What do I mean by this ? Set your goals based on time, if you want short term gains great, cater your expectations to meet that , but if you set your goals longer term, ie say the next 5 to 10 years, and train your brain so it doesn’t care what the short term price is you will be much more at ease and not worrying if the price is down. 

This is why Index funds great , in particular funds that track who entire stock market, or the top companies 

VTI Is one example of an index fund ETF That tracks the entire the entire stock market It is factually proven that this Fund goes up in the long term. And although like many stocks and ETFs it has short term fluctuations and dips.

VTI is up over 26% in the last year alone! But has still had dips along the way, This is why you need to remember your long term mindset and block out the short term noise of the stock market volatility. 

So remember  to take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture, and the index fund VTI - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTI) is a perfect example that you should always look at the bigger Picture.
