LAVISH INVESTMENTS FOR THE LAZY INVESTOR

Updated: Jan 24, 2023

Don't you want to own a business or have another stream of income?! This is what the rich are doing, not the people living pay check to pay check. The people living pay check to paycheck are too busy spending the little they have on stupid overpriced items that aren't necessities rather luxury items. Why not substitute those "small" liabilities for assets! Just drink water stop buying soda its healthier and cheaper, stop eating out all day and eat at home with in a 6 hour window (you will be surprised what your body is capable of). And most importantly don't go out drinking/partying every night destroying your health and future.


If you make these small changes you will have a surplus of money that would have gone to waste. Now you can start investing, whether it's 5$ a week or $500 just start! You don't know how to properly diversify? Well that is what this article is for! What if I told you you could invest in every stock/bond in the world, over 70k worth of assets, with just 15 ETFs! (An ETF is basically one stock which includes multiple other stocks in a specific category whether its the whole world or just clean energy or an ETF that mimics the market, the topics are endless and new ones are created all the time, it's actually the 30th year anniversary of the first ETF which mimiced the S&P 500) These ETFs give you exposer to not just large cap stocks but small and mid cap as well. Not just stocks in the USA but in emerging markets and developed markets. To make sure you are proportioned more conservatively these ETFs give you more exposer to stocks with high dividend yields as well as value stocks and stocks that have been moving with a lot of positive momentum. To diversify even father these ETFs also include commodities and bonds, every one you can think of from municipal to corporate to TIPS to AAA to foreign. One of the ETFs is even an ETF with 7 other ETFs... I will leave 5 other ETFs for you to personalize your portfolio, so you can make your portfolio more conservative or more risky.
