What do we think is the future for index funds like VTI? Am currently 24, looking at a 40 year timespan. Is it really that easy to just put in 300+ a month into VTI, and it’ll grow a large amount in the future? New to investing, just started this year. If it’s so easy to just invest in index funds, why doesn’t everyone do it? Currently it trades at around 285, how much should we expect in 40 years? 2000+?
