Vanguard total stock market index fund VTSMX ($3k to start), then expand to total international stock market and total bond market funds as well (also $3k each to start). It's known as the 3 fund portfolio strategy....then don't look at it for 10 years.

There are so many threads on this. I'm about to start recommending you mofos invest in VIX options, coffee futures and penny stocks
Use Wealthfront. Invest in index funds with no fees at all for the first $15k
Roth IRA into an S&P 500 Index Fund. With compounding, you'll have a quadruple or a quint by the time you retire.
Stop wasting money on betterment or wealthfront!!! They charge outrageous fees. Choose something that's actually long term and would help towards your retirement like a simple vanguard individual account!!
Depends on your risk tolerance, expendable income and expected returns
Also...as many of us exceed the max MAGI for a ROTH IRA...look into a "Backdoor IRA" (via Google or Bogleheads to start)
Buy gold and silver.
Make sure you're making use of all the tax advantages accounts before opening a traditional brokerage account. IRA, 401K, and HSA. Then I'd suggest opening a vanguard brokerage account.
Roth IRA
P4 - make sure you don't run afoul with your firm's independence restrictions with index funds.
E3-Be careful with Roth IRAs. Your income has to be under a certain amount. I Passed up the limit a long time ago.
Betterment or wealthfront
D2 ... Thank you and good point. OP, if you choose a Roth with an Index fund, make sure you go through independence.
