You've got several great strategies here along the ETF / Index Fund / Vanguard route, which I would endorse, as well as some subreddits I know too well! JL Collins's 'Stock Series' is an excellent set of articles / blogs that I've recommended to heaps of people over the years - https://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/ https://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/ It helped me, and in turn my beautiful wife and several friends, properly understand the WHY behind these kind of recommendations. It has expanded over the years - my advice is to read them until they get boring, because the boring ones are probably 2 steps ahead of where you are today. You can return later. Good luck!
