Hi everyone, I’m looking for some ETF recommendations for long term growth. So far I’ve been putting my money into VOO and QQQ. I do plan on getting into crypto in the near future as well but want a majority in long term growth ETFs. (For context I’m 24, single, 80K salary, HCOL). I’d appreciate any investment/life advice as well.

Do qqqm instead of qqq for long term, it has a lower expense ratio.

Can't go wrong with VOO and QQQ. You could maybe allocate some to (1) International (like a VXUS) and/or Value (like a VYM) for diversification sake? But honestly, simple is good. And VOO + QQQ covers the entire market with a bent toward Growth. Which is a just fine idea for the long term.

My advise... Always put at least majority (>50%) in the whole market (VOO), keep it simple, slow and steady wins the race (my case against crypto and other speculative investments) and put away as much as you can!

I'm not one for crypto, but I'm probably in the minority in this bowl... Do 5% at most if you've got the itch and just can't help it... But VOO and QQQ are a much better place to put your money.

I have some money in DRIV and YOLO. They are etfs targeted towards EVs and Weed. I think there is going to be a lot of growth in those sector Ed in the next few years. The infrastructure bill has billions of dollars marketed for installing EV charging stations across the country!
