Hi
I am fairly a newbie here. I recently decided ti take control of my finances and I have already simplified and automated my savings in such a way that, I have automated certain amount to go to VT every month. I live in VHCOL and I have no stock options in my work .
Now my husband is not a boglehead, he is buying individual stocks in companies he trusts, after a discussion we decided my savings will go to index funds and his to individual stock.
His reasoning is bogleheads might not work for VHCOL but here many people are tech workers with large compensations and stock money. Is this true ?
For me I have no interest in researching a lot about companies, I just want to stay under my budget, save extra money in a reasonable way to match inflation.
