Looking to start investing (mostly Index Funds and some crypto). Any tips on where to get an account for index funds? Vanguard? Fidelity? Charles Schwab? Somewhere else? What’s most cost efficient?

Vg or fidelity plus coinbase is where I would start. Coinbase pro (lower fees than main coinbase) is worth considering if you can handle the interface.

If you want mutual funds and it is for a taxable brokerage account, I would look to Vanguard. If you want ETFs or is an IRA I would go with any of the 3 you mentioned. I personally use Fidelity and am mostly index funds. I am not sure that you can get crypto at any of the 3 unless you are talking about the new crypto ETFs, but that is not truly owning crypto

I like fidelity for index funds. For crypto I use coinbase (pro) and voyager. Coinbase pro is better for trading and voyager is better for interest (e.g. 9% on USDC). Let me know if you'd like referrals to either crypto platform ($10 or $25 of BTC)!

Betterment

Fidelity has a great user interface for website and app

In addition to the C Pro and Voyager mentioned, also consider Celsius as an introduction to crypto. Current rate for USDC is 10%. New users receive a bonus (I have a referral code), and you can stack promo codes. For example, existing users can make a small deposit of $250, which after 30 days will earn a $60 reward on top of the new user reward.

Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂
