in broad based index funds at Vanguard (lowest expense ratios in the industry) and let it sit for decades.
Fortunately, it's easy to assemble such a portfolio using low -

Most people associate passive investing with low cost,
broad based index funds like those you can purchase at Vanguard.
Pro Tip 1: If you plan to have an index fund in your portfolio, it would be best to have
