Is VFFSX the mutual fund equivalent of VOO? I want to switch my 401k investments to all S&P500 going forward and the former is what I have access to

OP is clearly trying to invest in his 401k where he might only have limited options.

Just look up 3 fund lazy portfolio which gives you diversification with US and international equities and bond market. Decide the ratio based on your risk appetite. Check out bogleheads forum online.

I like VV more than VOO as a broad index tracker, worth checking out

Check out VIGIX it’s better than VFFSX

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
