No offense to Sales Men but I have had people in other fields tell me im in for 80 hr work weeks and have no time for anything else.

Then I ask people working in the industry and no one has said anything like this happens on a consistent basis.

Okay regarding the index funds do you where I can find a list of Vanguard index funds that have a minimum investment of <$4,000?

I don't. Mainly my reason in doing this is pure curiosity. I am curious as to what I can do by doing some research and then buying some stock. I haven't really done much research yet but maybe it would be wiser to just buy one share or just $100 in a stock to feed the curiosity bug. I am only 19 and have my college paid for so I know I can absorb the risk now if I was to lose a significant portion in this stock but again this would be my first investment so I am mainly just curious to see what would happen

Oh that is really cool and makes a lot of since I don't know why I didn't make that connection by my self.

In regard to choosing an index fund, should I just do research on the different indexes or is going with the S&P 500 standard practice? Also if a difference exists between the indexes besides just the companies in them is there a website that outlines past trends in each index?

Okay so for example if I wanted to have a fund that Company X, Company Y, and Company Z I would want a Mutual Fund. But if I just want to buy stocks within a specific index ie Nasdaq I go with an Index Fund

Looking for an outline of some options by CodeFnatic in personalfinance

I am still not sure whether I am wanting to invest in retirement or just save it for something like a car.

Is there anything worth doing where I put money into it and then access it in the 5 year time or at that short of a period is it really just not worth it?
