If I Were 25, I’d Put $300 Per Month Into This 1 ETF and Not Touch It for 40 Years

An investment advisor recommends that 25-year-olds invest $300 monthly in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) within a Roth IRA and hold it for 40 years until retirement. The strategy relies on automatic contributions to remove emotional decision-making, extremely low fees (0.03%), tax-free growth in a Roth wrapper, and the power of compound returns across market cycles.
