What kind of investments make sense for someone my age?
Max out your 401k
pre-tax and employer matching is a big deal.
after that, Betterment and Wealthfront are a great easy button.
Index funds are great and cheap but require some research, planning and care & feeding (thats basically what betterment and wealthfront do for you). Fidelity generally has some of the cheapest.
Markets are cyclical and corrections are normal. Dont freak out when/if in 6 months the market takes a dump.
