I'm a 32 year old looking to be more intentional about long-term investing. I have limited bandwidth and was recommended to look into ETFs. I plan to invest monthly for 5+ years (will probably start with contributing $50-100/month).
**Questions** are below:
1. **Roth IRA:** Is it better to invest using money from my Roth IRA or disposable income? What are the pros and cons?
2. **Selecting a brokerage:** I have both Fidelity and Schwab. I believe my Roth IRA is now connected to Schawb, as my company recently assigned them as our brokerage. Do you recommend one over the other? I am leaning towards Fidelity to invest in ETFs.
3. **Contribution amount:** Is $50 a month enough for the first 6-12 months? If not, what do you suggest?
4. **Suggestions:** What ETFs does he recommend starting with? How many should I start with? I've read that diversifying across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and global market is a good place to start.
1. For ex: VOO, QQQM, VTI, VXUS
